Philosophy of Science, History of Philosophy of Science, Science methodology, Received view, MethodAbstract
In order to be accepted as scientific projects worth funding and/or as research papers worth publishing, scientists must, through sound methodological canons, that that piece of work “is Science”. The accepted methodological descriptions are, however, are often dated and committed with philosophical views of what Science is which are already deeply criticized and no longer accepted in the Philosophy of Science community. A critical history of Philosophy of Science is needed for clarifying what problems the adoption of a given method is likely to raise. This modest communication raises this problem and sketches a direction of such history.
