SOME CRITICAL POINTS IN THE METHODS AND PHILOSPHY OF PHYSICAL SCIENCES

Abstract

Nowadays, it seems that there are not enough studies on the philosophy and methods of physical sciences that would be attractive to the researchers in the field. However, many revolutionary inventions have come from the mechanism of the philosophical thought of the physical sciences. This is, of course, a vast and very interesting topic that must be investigated in detail by philosophers, scientists or philosopher-scientists such as physicists. In order to do justice to it one has to write a book. For example, you may think mainly of the historical aspect that is how methodology and philosophy of physical sciences developed in the last century and how it influenced the development in science. One may also think of the topic of methodology and philosophy in physics treated by a philosopher, a scientist or a physicist, which would mean from quite different points of view. Another important question of this topic that needs to be answered is the question of what can be done in methods and philosophy of physical sciences in the near future. The aim of the study: For a quarter of a century I have been interested in “ Philosophy of Sciences “ as a hobby and from time to time have given lectures on this subject to students of physics as an elective course, in which one of the main subjects of the course was “Philosophy and Methods of the Physical Sciences ,“ I would like to share my experience , knowledge and research results on these topics with distinguished science readers of public and to acquaint philosophical and methodological ideas that play an active role in the development process of physical sciences for those who want to do research to shed some light on this issue. In this direction, science of physics, relation between physics and philosophy-science, the philosophy and methods of classical physical sciences, philosophical comments of quantum theory, the methods and philosophy of modern physical sciences, Philosophy of Physics and the Methodology, how a scientist works to get a better understanding of the laws of nature, success through method, Einstein's methodology, impact of relativity, the conflicting views in the progress of modern physics, and the strategy adopted in the study of physical systems, have been examined.
