Introduction of Philosophy of science

 INTRODUCTION OF PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE 



The word philosophy is derived from the Greek words philia (love) and sophia (wisdom) and means "the love of wisdom". And also philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems, such as those connected with existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. Philosophy is rational attempt to formulate understand, and answer fundamental questions.

Philosophical way


And also he history of the philosophy of science, certainly in the Western world, begins with the philosophers of Ancient Greece.Whilst many other philosophers contributed to the very beginning of the scientific process, the genesis of science began with the contrast between Platonism and Aristotleism.

Nowadays We often think of philosophy as something esoteric and impractical.However, it doesn't have to be that way. Thinking like philosopher doesn't mean asking never ending questions or setting up intellectual traps.

Branches of philosophy 



Western philosophy can be divided into six branches that have assumed various importance over time.Traditionally metaphysics sets the questions for philosophy.Epistemology asks how do we know? Ethics and politics have to do with action quality of life.Aestheticsvor value theory has to do with beauty,balance, and harmony. Logic has to do with the relations of things.Epistemology sometimes replaces metaphysics these days,because it has fewer religious overtones.


Metaphysics

Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy that considers the physical universe and the nature of ultimate reality.  

Epistemology

Epistemology is the branch of philosophy that considers how people come to learn what they know.These influence how teaching, learning, and understanding come about in the classroom.

Axiology

Axiology is the branch of philosophy that considers the study of principles and values. These values are divided into two main kinds.They are ethics and aesthetics. 

Logic

Logic is the branch of philosophy that seeks to organize reasoning. Students of logic learn how to think in a structurally sound manner. Logic has two types.They are deductive and inductive reasoning. 

Not only that in addition to above,it is further classified into several.They are philosophy of education,philosophy of history, philosophy of language, philosophy of law, philosophy of mind, philosophy of politics, philosophy science and so on.

Philosophical methods 



Philosophical method is the study of how to do philosophy.A common view among philosophers is that philosophy is distinguished by the ways that philosophers follow in addressing philosophical questions.Science is an enormously successful human enterprise.The study scientific method is the attempt to discern the activities by which that success in achieved. Among the activities often identified as characteristics of science are systematic observation and experimentation, inductive and deductive reasoning, and the formation and testing of hypotheses and theories. I classify philosophy of science methods into four methods. They are questioning,critical discussion, rational argument, systematic presentation.

Philosophical school of thought

Education is practical in natural and philosophy is theory.Philosophy is the study of the realities,the pursuit of wisdom.The art of education can not be completed without philosophy and philosophy can not convert others to its aims and values without education.The educator, who has to deal with the real facts of life.

Idealism

Idealism is a philosophical approach that has as its central tenet that ideas are the only true reality, the only thing worth knowing. In a search for truth, beauty, and justice that is enduring and everlasting, the focus is on conscious reasoning in the mind. 

Realism

Realists believe that reality exists independent of the human mind. The ultimate reality is the world of physical objects. The focus is on the body/objects. Truth is objective-what can be observed. 

Pragmatism 

For pragmatists, only those things that are experienced or observed are real.For Pragmatists, teaching methods focus on hands-on problem solving, experimenting, and projects, often having students work in groups. 

Existentialism


The nature of reality for Existentialists is subjective, and lies within the individual. The physical world has no inherent meaning outside of human existence. Individual choice and individual standards rather than external standards are central. 

Finally

This is the introduction of the science of well-being to philosophy of science and an explanation of how the disciplines can benefit each other.I think this is an essential subject that everyone should learn and also a subject chat that analyzes issues with unquenchable desires.

GENDER JUSTICE AND SEXISM

Image
  ABSTRACT The question of gender justice In post-industrial liberal-democratic societies, opinions vary dramatically on whether these societies are gender just. Both scholars and the wider public disagree on this question. As Deborah Rhode argues, some claim that unjust inequalities between women and men no longer exist, or that women's liberation has achieved more than enough, and these days it is men who are suffering discrimination. Others disagree, and argue that unjust inequalities to the disadvantage of women remain, despite the post-feminist discourse.Unfortunately, this is not really the case: there are very few systematic studies that provide a satisfying answer to this question. The reason for this is that an adequate answer to this question requires both normative theorising and empirical analysis. INTRODUCTION Here I propose, and defend, a principle of gender justice meant to capture the nature of a very wide range of injustices based on gender. 1 In a nutshell, the pr...

INDUCTION, DEDUCTION, AND THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD

Image
  Deductive Reasoning vs. Inductive Reasoning During the scientific process, deductive reasoning is used to reach a logical true conclusion. Another type of reasoning, inductive, is also used. Often, people confuse deductive reasoning with inductive reasoning, and vice versa. It is important to learn the meaning of each type of reasoning so that proper logic can be identified. Deductive reasoning Deductive reasoning is a basic form of valid reasoning. Deductive reasoning, or deduction, starts out with a general statement, or hypothesis, and examines the possibilities to reach a specific, logical conclusion, according to  California State University . The scientific method uses deduction to test hypotheses and theories. "In deductive inference, we hold a theory and based on it we make a prediction of its consequences. That is, we predict what the observations should be if the theory were correct. We go from the general — the theory — to the specific — the observations," said D...

SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY WITH HYPOTHESIS TESTS

Image
  INTRODUCTION In this article when we consider the tests under the Scientific Inquiry: It is scientists study the natural world and propose explanations based on evidence derived by their work. Actually, hypothesis can turn the scientific test in to a logical reasoning process. Hypothesis are propositions that are made from the basis of reasoning. Confirmation & Acceptability are two words that can describe the outcome of the scientific inquiry. This outcome strength is depended on the evidential support of the hypothesis. SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY Scientific inquiry has two primary functions. Firstly,  it provides a description of how scientific inquiry is  conducted in practice. Secondly, it gives an  explanation of why scientific inquiry is successful in  arriving at genuine knowledge at the end of its  process. Scientific inquiry extends beyond  development of process skills such as observing,  inferring, classifying, predicting, measuring,...
