Philosophy of science according to me is going beyond the mere scientific observation of matter. It deals with the things which cannot be explained by scientific methods. In the post-modern era very often science tries to monopolize in everything. People look at the things and believe which are scientifically explained but beyond that no one asks questions. Philosophy of science ask question which are beyond scientific explanation.
Before the course of philosophy of science I have never asked a question like who created atom. Science has given the theory that everything is made of atom. But it has not asked who made atom? Philosophy of science helped me to think critically with regard to things that I can see in my daily life. Though science may try to prove some kind of superiority with regard to the existing things but it has not explained the mystery which lies in each matter. Science may say that there is nothing so called supper natural law. It may try to prove things through its own scientific methods but often many things remained unsolved. But philosophy of science try to explain what science is not able to explain. Scientist often uses terms like causality, law, theory etc. But in that several questions are not answered. For instance, what is meant by saying that event is the cause of another? Well this is what philosophy of science tries to explain to the people.
There are lots of philosophical issues in science. Science overlooks mystery questions. Many a time people tend to believe the theory of science but fail to look beyond the science theory. As a result they become narrow mindedness. Philosophy of science almost deals with all the mystery questions of science. It gives lot of meaning to the people which science can’t give. Therefore philosophy of science is the attempt to understand the meaning, method, and logical structure of science. Philosophy of science deals with the fundamental question which people are looking for the years in the life journey? Science does not have all the answers to provide how the existence has taken place. But philosophy of science helps us to think that there is something which has created the universe. Though science has been trying to provide through its scientific methods but not successful. As we all know that science has been dealing with the structure of each thing. What God has created, science try to explain it. Very often people are misled with the scientific theory. They think that scientific theory is the final answer to everything. But it is not. We should be able to go beyond the structure of things. This is what philosophy of science deals with. It tries to explain how things are interlinked to each other.
I found something beautiful in philosophy of science. That is the dealing with mystery question of science. It really enlightened me. We all of us are not aware of this. Hence from generation onwards many of us don’t ask the real questions. It is just not enough to remain passive in the modern era. With changing times we should be able to deal with the unanswered question about science. Therefore, philosophy of science helped me to think critically about science. It has played very important role in my intellectual aspects. Lot more things which science did not give me answer was given by the philosophy of science. In this technological world philosophy of science is required to build bridges between man and science.
