The System of Sciences in philosophy, is divided into social, natural, humanitarian and technical. She was born in the ancient world, but as the system began to take shape in the 16th century. In the course of its development it became an important social institution, necessary to society and providing for its operation a huge impact.

 

Historically separate Stages of development of philosophy of science. This philosophical discipline began to develop along with positivist doctrine. It was the first time there is an urgent need to study language, logic and methods of the exact Sciences. In different stages the main problems of the study were allocated different phenomena, discussed different topics and not have unity in opinion that to include in the concept of science in philosophy.

In the positivist philosophy (in all three phases) the main task of philosophy of science was the understanding of the nature of scientific theories in General, attempts have been made to determine its structure, means of knowledge. At this time there is the problem of the growth of scientific knowledge.

In the subsequent stages of the formation of the philosophy of science positivists  more and more departed from the actual content of scientific theories. The logical-positivist doctrine in General has actually gone in metaphysics, moving away from science. Neopositivist  continued to rely on empiricism. They reduced philosophy to logic of science. Postpositivist tried to analyze the impact on the development of science ‘non-scientific" factors (cultural, spiritual, social). At this stage, science has begun to interact with the social environment. Since then, the science has become to philosophers perspective and interesting subject. The theory of neopositivists and postpositivist remain relevant to date.

There is such a thing as The problems of philosophy of science. It is understood the problems of the growth of scientific knowledge, the study of the emergence of science and its development at each stage of social development. Philosophy of science seeks to develop the ideological guidelines for the solution of these problems. The main problem of the philosophy of science is the problem of the emergence of scientific knowledge. Generally, all the problems are divided into three groups: problems of philosophy of science, deriving from the peculiarities of philosophy; problems inside the science; the problem of interaction of philosophy and science.
