Abstract
Philosophy of science is a subject with two sides. The first side faces science and scholarship in a unified way, is concerned with general scientific methodology, and studies the growth of scientific knowledge and the general role of science in society. It is related to and draws from the history of ideas and general philosophical positions, in particular the empiricism/rationalism dimension in epistemology.
