The philosophy of science is concerned with the assumptions, foundations,
methods and implications of science. It is also concerned with the use and
merit of science and sometimes overlaps metaphysics and epistemology by
exploring whether scientific results are actually a study of truth. In addition
to these central problems of science as a whole, many philosophers of science
also consider problems that apply to particular sciences like philosophy of
biology or philosophy of physics. Some philosophers of science also use
contemporary results in science to reach conclusions about philosophy.
