Theme
The field of “metaphysics of science” is relatively new in philosophy. While early 20th-century philosophy of science largely rejected the phrase as ill-formed, the 21st century is witnessing a blossoming of literature on this topic. Nowadays, the metaphysics of science stands as a legitimate branch of both metaphysics and philosophy of science that has specific topics and problems of its own. On the one hand, metaphysics of science typically uses science as a ground for metaphysical theorizing, thereby contributing new perspectives to metaphysics; on the other hand, it has prospects of contributing to the philosophy of science by expanding the science-based worldview based on broadly metaphysical theorization.
