In both cases it relies upon the adoption of operational criteria designed within the particular perspective under which any single science considers reality. The “object” so attained has a proper ontological status, dependent on the specific character of the criteria of reference (regional ontologies). This justifies a form of scientific realism. Such perspectives are also the result of a complex cultural-historical situation. The awareness of such a “historical determinacy” of science justifies including in the philosophy of science the problems of ethics of science, relations of science with metaphysics, and social dimensions of science that overstep the traditional restriction of the philosophy of science to an epistemology of science. It is to this “context” that the second part of the book is devoted.Philosophy and sciencePhysicsMathematical logicEthicsPhilosophy of naturePhilosophy of Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34000History and Philosophical Foundations of Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P29000Mathematical Logic and Foundationshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M24005Ethicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E14000Philosophy of Naturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34040Philosophy and science.Physics.Mathematical logic.Ethics.Philosophy of nature.Philosophy of Science.History and Philosophical Foundations of Physics.Mathematical Logic and Foundations.Ethics.Philosophy of Nature.10113170501Agazzi Evandroauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut9620BOOK9910483391603321Scientific Objectivity and Its Contexts2597587UNINA
