Axioms are more general, and the principles of all things. If this does not belong to the philosopher, who else will have the job of considering truth and falsity in their case?
Clarification
'Axioms' are the initial assumptions
Gist of Idea
Axioms are the underlying principles of everything, and who but the philosopher can assess their truth?
