Belongs here: philosophers of the experimental and inductive method, falsificationism, paradigm theory, and the logical-positivist analysis of scientific language, folded together with philosophy of biology here rather than as its own single-member subcategory given this atlas's current holdings. Does not belong here: working scientists whose philosophical reflection is incidental to their scientific work, whose domain facets belong on this atlas's sibling Science Atlas.FactsAll Philosophy of ScienceSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested20 1Cultural Origin TraditionWell-attestedGerman 1Cultural Origin TraditionWell-attestedAustrian 1All Philosophy of ScienceFilter Results70 entriesBranch of PhilosophyAllBioethics (2)Epistemology (8)Ethics (2)Feminist Philosophy (1)Logic (4)Metaphysics (8)Philosophy of Biology (6)Philosophy of Law (1)Philosophy of Mathematics (4)Philosophy of Medicine (3)Philosophy of Mind (2)Philosophy of Physics (4)Philosophy of Science (51)Political Philosophy (2)School of PhilosophyAllGerman Idealism (1)Logical Positivism (1)Postmodernism (1)EraAll1168 (1)1220 (1)1561 (1)1585 (1)1703 (1)1749 (1)1852 (1)1861 (1)1877 (1)1882 (2)1887 (1)1890 (1)1891 (1)1892 (1)1902 (2)1904 (1)1905 (1)1919 (1)1922 (2)1923 (2)1924 (1)1925 (1)1930 (1)1935 (2)1936 (2)1937 (1)1941 (2)1942 (1)1944 (3)1945 (1)1946 (3)1947 (2)1948 (1)1949 (1)1951 (2)1953 (2)1956 (3)1964 (1)1965 (2)1967 (1)1969 (3)1970 (1)1981 (1)NationalityAllArgentina (2)Australia (1)Austria (6)Belgium (1)Belgium (1)Byzantine Empire (1)Canada (1)Canada (4)Chile (1)Czechoslovakia (1)Denmark (2)Finland (2)France (1)Germany (6)Greece (1)Hungary (1)Italy (1)Italy (1)Netherlands (2)Ottoman Empire (1)Poland (1)South Africa (1)Switzerland (1)United Kingdom (1)United Kingdom (11)United States (1)United States (14)Birthplace / RegionAllArgentina (1)Australia (1)Austria (6)Belgium (1)Canada (4)Chile (1)Czechia (1)Denmark (2)Finland (2)France (1)Germany (6)Ghent (1)Greece (1)Hungary (1)Italy (2)Netherlands (2)Poland (1)Switzerland (1)Turkey (2)United Kingdom (12)United States (15)Influenced ByAllBaruch Spinoza (1)Immanuel Kant (1)Sandra Harding (1)MovementAllAnalytic Philosophy Of Science (23)Christian Philosophy Of Science (2)Continental And Phenomenological Philosophy Of Science (3)Feminist Philosophy Of Science (3)Other Philosophy Of Science Traditions (32)Pragmatist Philosophy Of Science (3)Rationalist Empiricist And Idealist Philosophy Of Science (4)In GroupAllAnalytic Philosophy Of Science (23)Christian Philosophy Of Science (2)Continental And Phenomenological Philosophy Of Science (3)Feminist Philosophy Of Science (3)Other Philosophy Of Science Traditions (32)Pragmatist Philosophy Of Science (3)Rationalist Empiricist And Idealist Philosophy Of Science (4)TraditionAllAnalytic Philosophy (20)Aristotelianism (1)Christian Philosophy (1)Continental Philosophy (1)Empiricism (3)Feminism (3)Idealism (1)Logical Positivism (2)Positivism (5)Post-structuralism (1)Postmodernism (1)Pragmatism (3)Rationalism (1)Scholasticism (3)Structuralism (1)Thomism (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 50Adolf GrünbaumPhilosophy of ScienceAlbína DratvováPhilosophy of ScienceAlexander BirdPhilosophy of ScienceAndrew CollierPhilosophy of ScienceBas van FraassenPhilosophy of ScienceBert MosselmansPhilosophy of ScienceBesir FuadPhilosophy of ScienceC.D.
