Description
Science and philosophy are often seen as separate disciplines, but this book argues that they are intertwined. By exploring the philosophical presuppositions behind scientific research, Mario Bunge reveals how these assumptions can either hinder or help the research process. Bunge examines science in the making, using examples from various fields including natural, social, and biosocial sciences. He shows how certain philosophical approaches, such as realism, can foster exploration and verification, while others, like subjectivism, can lead to uncontrolled fantasy. This book centers on the research process and its underlying philosophical framework, arguing that these presuppositions form a crucial matrix for conceiving and nurturing scientific projects.
