Huh? Philosophy of science? What has philosophy to do with science? A couple years ago, the scientist Stephen Hawking went so far as to say that “philosophy is dead.†He argued that philosophers had not kept up with physics well enough to even be relevant any more. (I’ve enjoyed throwing this question to several of our guests here at Mendelspod. None of them have wanted to agree with Hawking.) The boundaries between science and philosophy are not that clear. In fact, what we call “science†today used to be called “philosophy.†Francis Bacon, who came up with the “scientific method†and is considered the father of modern science, was most notably a philosopher.
