About PhilScience

PhilScience aims to contribute effectively to the foundation of the science of the future through a critical, unificatory, conceptual- and target-oriented approach to the current methodology and issues of sciences. By addressing foundations, adequacy, and new conceptual designs of scientific content, theories, and methods as well as of the theories about science, we aim also to clarify and establish the status of philosophy of science and other metascientific disciplines in this new scientific era. We believe that with the challenges posed by contemporary science, philosophical disciplines dealing with science will be revitalized with the mission of being more applicative than they ever were. The social normative-authoritative aspect of science is one of our focuses. The criteria for selection and review of the editorial boards of scientific journals are evaluated on their adequacy. Further, the criteria by which academic authorities select, organize, and adapt the knowledge to be included in the official curricula are also subject to critical analysis. In brief, our mission is to raise an academic voice on matters that foundationally and essentially count toward the science of the future and the science of all humans as regards both education and application. We look for and promote critical questions rather than answers, and when addressing a 'why' question, prior to discussing the 'how,' we also investigate why we should ask the 'why.' We conduct our own research at PhilScience following the principles outlined above and disseminate its results through our publications. We constantly design new research and editorial projects for which we call contributors and collaborators from around the globe. Our goal is to develop a wide community of researchers (from early career to those well established) through international collaborative projects.
