The philosophy of science is concerned
with the assumptions, foundations, methods and implications of science. It is
also concerned with the use and merit of science and sometimes overlaps
metaphysics and epistemology by exploring whether scientific results are
actually a study of truth. In addition to these central problems of science as
a whole, many philosophers of science also consider problems that apply to
particular sciences like philosophy of biology or philosophy of physics. Some
philosophers of science also use contemporary results in science to reach
conclusions about philosophy.
