Doing Science: In The Light Of Philosophy

Doing Science: In The Light of Philosophy

Bunge Mario Augusto, 2017

Overview

This book examines science as a process, challenging current philosophical approaches that isolate it from other disciplines. It argues that practitioners across intellectual fields must adopt appropriate metaphysical frameworks to develop scientistic research projects. The work delves into the philosophical presuppositions of science, such as rationality and realism, which are often overlooked but critically important. Some of these assumptions can foster research, while others may hinder it, with realism encouraging exploration and conjecture checking, unlike subjectivism.
