Call For Papers

Special Issue on Philosophy of Science


Philosophy of science is concerned with the foundations, methods, and implications of science. The central questions of this study concern what qualifies as science, the reliability of scientific theories, and the ultimate purpose of science. This discipline overlaps with metaphysics, ontology, and epistemology, for example, when it explores the relationship between science and truth.


In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on philosophy of science. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Assumptions, foundations, and implications of natural science
  • Criticism of science
  • Law of nature
  • Positivism and empiricism
  • Metaphysical, epistemological, and ethical issues
  • Theories of explanation

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.


Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue – Philosophy of Science” should be chosen during your submission.
