Search Results - Philosophy of science

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

Philosophy of science is the study of assumptions, foundations, and implications of science. The field is defined by an interest in one of a set of "traditional" problems or an interest in central or foundational concerns in science. In addition to these central problems for science as a whole, many philosophers of science consider these problems as they apply to particular sciences (e.g. philosophy of biology or philosophy of physics). Some philosophers of science also use contemporary results in science to draw philosophical morals. Although most practitioners are philosophers, several prominent scientists have contributed to the field and still do.

Issues of ethics, such as bioethics and scientific misconduct, are not generally considered part of philosophy of science. These issues may be studied in ethics or science studies.

This problem has taken center stage in the debate regarding evolution and intelligent design. Many opponents of intelligent design claim that it does not meet the criteria of science and should thus not be treated on equal footing as evolution.[5] Those who defend intelligent design either defend the view as meeting the criteria of science or challenge the coherence of this distinction.[6]

Two central questions about science are (1) what are the aims of science and (2) how ought one interpret the results of science? Scientific realists claim that science aims at truth and that one ought to regard scientific theories as true, approximately true, or likely true. Conversely, a scientific antirealist or instrumentalist argues that science does not aim (or at least does not succeed) at truth and that we should not regard scientific theories as true.[7] Some antirealists claim that scientific theories aim at being instrumentally useful and should only be regarded as useful, but not true, descriptions of the world.[8] More radical antirealists, like Thomas Kuhn and Paul Feyerabend, have argued that scientific theories do not even succeed at this goal, and that later, more accurate scientific theories are not "typically approximately true" as Popper contended.[9][10]

1. Learn Home School Basics and Home Schooling Tips
November 03, 2008

Through much of human history, the only education children received was from their parents. It was only in the middle ages that special institutions were set up to impart education, and this too was only to the socially elite and royalty. The education imparted at these institutions was what is called Classical Education – the study of history, philosophy, ancient languages and perhaps some rudimentary science. Most children were apprenticed – they learned a vocation either from their fathers or from a skilled tradesman. This was the education that saw them through life. It was only in th... (read more)

6. The Bible On Reincarnation
July 23, 2008

A belief in reincarnation indicates a belief that people experience a series of rebirths until ultimately attaining oneness with God. The Bible's teachings on science, ancient history, and mathematics have been proven flawless. Also, it's a most unique book in that there's no doctrine, belief, or philosophy that has been, is, or ever will be on which the Bible is "silent". This fact alone attests to the amazing knowledge possessed by its numerous authors who wrote under divine inspiration, thing they should not have known by any natural means. Many proponents of the theory of reincarn... (read more)

8. Blavatsky's Message and Teaching
June 27, 2008

Helena Petrovna Blavatsky’s (HPB) task was to act as a messenger to bring the knowledge that there is a Divine Wisdom – Theo-sophia as the root and basis upon which all philosophies, sciences and religions are founded and which guides the cosmos, nature and human life. This Divine Wisdom is variously known as the Ancient Wisdom, or Wisdom-Religion, or Esoteric Philosophy, or Perennial Philosophy, or Occult Science. All these terms allude to the fact that Theo-sophia is not a system of belief formulated by an individual, nor a religion in the ordinary meaning of the word denoting formaliz... (read more)

12. God Said, "remember" Why?
May 07, 2008

Into the Matrix In 1999, two brothers, Larry and Andy Wachowski, released a science-fiction thriller called The Matrix. The blockbuster earned about $456 million worldwide and spawned two successful sequels, The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions. All three films were a strange mixture of philosophy, science fiction, and Kung Fu. The most fascinating aspect of The Matrix Trilogy, however, was the idea that the world we live in, the world as we know it—cities, towns, work, shopping, life in general—is all a fake, a very powerful computer program to make us all think that we’re real...

14. The Uncertain Universe: The Quest for the Ultimate Limits of Human Knowledge by Bruce Kriger : book
March 07, 2008

Cosmology, as a science, limits itself to the study of the universe as a whole; its contents, structure, and evolution. Cosmological beliefs are based on the conclusions drawn from astronomical observations and mathematical models, but they still substantially influence the media and raise public interest. The study of cosmology has changed from a speculative enterprise into a data-driven science that is part of a modern standard physical theory and supported by a wealth of observations. Nevertheless some theoretical proposals are being made for the very early stages of the universe that hav... (read more)
