WHAT IS PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE
Philosophy of science is defined as a branch of philosophy that studies the philosophical assumptions, foundation and implication of science.
These include the natural science, such as physics, chemistry and biology; the social science such as psychology, history and sociology, and currently the formal science such as logic mathematics, set theory and proof theory. Debate is robust within the discipline and much remains inconclusive because for nearly every assertion advanced, a philosopher can be found who will disagree with it.
