Science is the subject matter of the philosophy of science. Like evolution, science refers to both a process and a product It is both an activity of production and the set of products resulting from this activity. Philosophers, though, have mainly focused on scientific results, i.e. the products of science, whether current or past. The question I want to raise here is: should philosophers also be concerned with the process of science?
I am very grateful to Michael Ruse for giving me the privilege to participate in this Symposium. I would also like to thank J. Beatty, R. Burian, R. Creath, T. Nickles, E. Sober, and M. Pera for helpful discussion. Mark Solovey showed me the many ways in which time and articulation are important. I am also truly grateful to him.
