Sinopsis :
Philosophy of science emerged as a recognizable sub-discipline within philosophy only in the twenti-eth century. The possibility of such a sub-discipline is a result of the post-Enlightenment disciplinary and institutional separation of philosophy from the sciences. Before that separation, philosophical reflection formed part of scientific research—as, indeed, it must—and philosophy was usually guid-ed by a sound knowledge of science, a practice that gradually lost currency after the separation. In the nineteenth century, philosophical reflection on science resulted in a tradition of natural philos-ophy, particularly in Britain (with the work of Mill, Pearson, Whewell, and others), but also in conti-nental Europe, especially in Austria (with Bolzano, Mach, and others). What is called philosophy of science today has its roots in both the British and the Austrian traditions, although with many other influences, as several entries in this Encyclopedia record.
