The philosophy of science is concerned with the assumptions fondations, method and implications of science. It is also concerned with the use and merit of science and sometimes overlaps metaphysic and epistemology by exploring whether scientific results are actually a study of truth. Many philosophers of science also consider problems that apply to particular sciences as example philosophy of biology and philosophy of physics. Some philosophers of science also use contemporary results in science to reach conclusions about philosophy.
Scientific philosophy believes that philosophy is one more science and that it should apply the hypothetical-deductive method like any other science.
Its object of study is the reality as a whole: it is all that is relevant to build our vision of the world and our place in it, but it does not want to look at concrete details, which are the object of study of other sciences. For example, it wants to know that nature works with causes and consequences, but it do no want to study concrete natural causes and consequences.
