What is science? What isn't
science? An attempt to develop a reasonable and understandable definition of
science, relying upon the methods of science and what distinguishes science
from other pursuits. The Philosophy of Science is concerned with, obviously
enough, science - specifically, how science operates, what the goals of
science should be, what relationship science should have with the rest of
society, the differences between science and other activities, etc.
Everything that happens in science has some relationship with the Philosophy
of Science and is predicated upon some philosophical position, even though
that may be rarely evident.
