The philosophy of science is concerned with all the
assumptions, foundations, methods, implications ofscience, and
with the use and merit of science. Thisdiscipline sometimes
overlaps metaphysics, ontology andepistemology, viz., when it
explores whether scientificresults comprise a study of truth. In
addition to thesecentral problems of science as a whole, many
philosophers
of science consider problems that apply to particularsciences
(e.g. philosophy of biology or philosophy ofphysics). Some
philosophers of science also usecontemporary results in science to
reach conclusions aboutphilosophy.

What is knowledge, and what do we mean when we
say that we know something? What is the source of knowledge, and
how do we
know if it is reliable?
What is the scope of knowledge, and what are its
limitations?

What is existence, i.e. what does it mean for a being to be? Is
existence a property? Which entities, if any, are fundamental? Are
all entities objects? How do the properties of an object relate to
the object itself? What features are the essential, as opposed to
merely accidental attributes
of a given object? What is a physical object? Can one give an
account of what it means to say that a physical object
exists? Can one give an account of what it means to say that a
non-physical entity
exists? What constitutes the identity of an object? When does an
object go out of existence, as opposed to merely changing?

Axiology studies mainly two kinds of values: ethics
and aesthetics. Ethics investigates the concepts of"right" and
"good" in individual and social conduct.Aesthetics studies the
concepts of "beauty" and"harmony."

The Two Cultures is the title of the first part of an
influential 1959 Rede Lecture by British scientist andnovelist
C. P. Snow.
Its thesis was that "the intellectual life of the whole
ofwestern society" was split into the titular two
cultures namely the sciences and the humanities and that this
was a major hindrance to solving theworld's problems.

The topic of unity in the sciences includes the following
questions: Is there one privileged, most basic kind of material,
and if not, how are the
different kinds of material in the universe related? Can the
various natural sciences (physics, astronomy, chemistry, biology)
be
unified into a single overarching theory, and can theories
within a singlescience (e.g., general relativity and quantum theory
in physics) be unified?
Does the unification of these parts of science involve only
matters of fact orare matters of value involved as well?
What about matters of method, material, institutional, ethical
and otheraspects of intellectual cooperation?
Moreover, what kinds of unity in the sciences are there, and is
unificationmerely a relation between concepts or terms (i.e., a
matter of semantics), oris it also a relation between the theories,
people, objects, or objectives thatthey are part of?
