Philosophy of Specific Sciences

The Philosophy of Specific Sciences is an area within the Philosophy of Science that looks at how individual fields like physics, biology, or social sciences create knowledge. It explores questions about the methods, concepts, and theories these fields use, how reliable they are, and how they relate to our broader understanding of reality. It's a way to examine the 'nuts and bolts' of science, check their soundness, and help improve scientific practices.
