Philosophy of Astronomy

The Philosophy of Astronomy explores fundamental questions about our understanding of the universe through astronomy. It examines the nature of celestial objects, the implications of scientific discoveries, and our place in the cosmos. This field engages with issues like the existence of extraterrestrial life, the meaning of time and space, and the ethics of space exploration. By critically analyzing theories and methodologies in astronomy, it raises deeper philosophical questions about knowledge, existence, and humanity's relationship with the universe, bridging scientific inquiry and philosophical inquiry.
