A foundational discipline that examines the nature of scientific knowledge, the structure of scientific theories, the logic of discovery and justification, and the relationship between science and society. It covers classic topics like demarcation, realism vs. anti‑realism, explanation, laws of nature, and the role of values in science. Philosophy of science also engages with the history of science and contemporary debates about scientific pluralism, the replication crisis, and the place of science in democracy.
