Philosophy of science

             Philosophy is the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence. Science is a way of learning about natural phenomena. Philosophy is very important in learning science. Science is combination of theories and practical. when we learn theories it is hard do understand without practical. So, theories and practical are combine with each other. When doing practical we can understand how to apply theories to handle situations. Likewise, science is combine with philosophy. When we study philosophy we learn about how to manage situations. And we can look at the problems that we encounter on a daily in a new way.  The philosophy is not just a subject but it can be connected to our lives. Engineering and biology are combine with each other. Example for that, when I learnt Entomology, I studied that there are some robots, drones are made out of using the technical that insects use to fly. In my opinion this also a philosophy. Because creative thinking, analyzing statements and argument, imagining alternatives to familiar views and situations are there. Likewise, when we learn science we have to think new way, and also theories that we learn are used to creative way to invent new products. I think that's why we have to learn philosophy. Not only that, when we encounter difficult situation in life, we can apply philosophical methods to face these situations. 


        There are 5 branches of philosophy. They are Epistemology, Logic, Ethics, Aesthetics, and Metaphysics. For study philosophy we have to consider about these branches. Because all these are based on philosophy. There are four philosophical methods. Questioning, critical discussion, Rational argument and systematic presentation. 

            It is very important to read philosophical books to good understanding about philosophy. For good understanding it is essential to read slowly and aggressively. When reading philosophical articles, they are useful understand philosophical methods and how to look at philosophy in author's position. Then, we can create our own method according to the philosophy and look at the same thing in our position. And also, when we reading different articles, author's point of view is different. Then we can understand different thought of people. And also it is important to build arguments with different though for learning. In here we can agree with author or not. But we have to think "why I do agree with author? " or "Why I do not agree with author? ". Then we can develop our ability to build arguments. There are some skills we have to develop to do well in philosophy. 

  • Analyzing statements and arguments.
  • Imagining alternatives to familiar views and situations.
  • stating things explicitly, clearly, and succinctly.
  • Thinking creatively.

    There are so many values of philosophy. Philosophy is provided answers for difficult questions. There are many ways to apply philosophical theories to the questions that we have. When we think about one question in whole day, after apply philosophical theories to that question it is easy to find n answer. And if we have different answers for the question, we can use philosophical theories to choose one answer that is appropriate to the question. Philosophy is develop our thinking ability, creativity, and choose right from wrong. By learning philosophy we become accustomed to seeing right from wrong and seeing right from right.
