Philosophy of Earth Science

The Philosophy of Earth Science explores the foundational concepts, methods, and implications of studying the Earth and its systems. It examines questions about how we understand geological processes, climate change, and ecosystems, focusing on the principles behind scientific reasoning, evidence, and interpretation in these fields. This philosophy also considers the ethical dimensions of how we interact with our planet, including sustainability and environmental stewardship, and reflects on the relationship between humans and the Earth. Ultimately, it seeks to clarify how Earth sciences contribute to our understanding of the world and our responsibilities toward it.
