Thats Philosophy, not Science
Thats Philosophy, not Science. Try Epistemology, Metaphysics, Linguistics and etc. to determine that one.

Re: Thats Philosophy, not Science
Philosophy of Science? Thats nonsense, they're mutually exclusive.
Philosophy covers A Priori knowledge, while Science covered A Posteriori knowledge.

Re: Thats Philosophy, not Science
This in no way results in the conclusion that the nature of scientific investigation can not be considered philosophically.
Thats apples and oranges here.
I use mutually exclusive where its necessary to use it. A Priori and A Posteriori are two completely different things. If you put them together, you've got a self contradiction on your hands.
Causes to Effects, and Effects to Causes can not coincide in the same sense at the same time. Thus, they would be considered to be mutually exclusive.
Now, a Logical Analysis of Inductive Reasoning is necessitated de facto of the Principles of Logic being both A Posteriori and A Priori.
Logic however is necessarily different than Philosophy however. So the Logic of Science is available to review, but the Philosophy of Science would be nonsense in the making.

Re: Thats Philosophy, not Science
Philosophy is not Art. Philosophy is the Science of Wisdom, or the study of wisdom..../love of wisdom. Postmodernists all too often end up misdefining that...or the Ayn Rand fan club wannabes as well.

Re: Thats Philosophy, not Science
Is that a fact? Then its not based off of a point of view, and your claim would be false.
If its not a fact, then your statement is still false.
Also, consider, if all truth is perception, and that is objectively true, all truth is not perception, and that is objectively false.
