Scientific philosophy and the resolution of philosophical problems
Keywords:
scientific philosophy, coherence, fertility, science, historyAbstract
In this article, I defend the perspective of scientific philosophy, highlighting its relevance in the resolution of contemporary philosophical problems. It is also argued that philosophical knowledge has advanced significantly, albeit differently from particular sciences. We suggest that philosophical theories should be in accordance with established scientific knowledge, emphasizing the importance of theoretical fertility. We will conclude that philosophy informed by science allows for robust responses to complex philosophical problems, promoting a fruitful dialogue between science and philosophy. We end the article with a brief reflection on the role of historical research in philosophy.
