Prospects of Philosophical Investigations of Science
Original language description
This study investigates the future of the philosophy of science in the tradition of analytical philosophy which itself is closely linked with resolving fundamental philosophical problems associated with the problematic nature of the empirical basis of science. The first part adopts a critical view of Quine's naturalized epistemology which rejects a normative stance towards the philosophy of science in favour of a pragmatically motivated naturalism. The second part presents some epistemological alternatives to Quine's naturalism articulated largely in terms of Davidson's transcendental view of the world, Searle's external realism and Fraassen's constructive empiricism. The third part strives to fill the resulting conceptual lacuna, asserting the need for a normative view of the philosophy of science. The fourth part articulates some reflections on the challenges facing the current and future philosophy of science.
