I became interested in this topic when trying to teach myself economics. As a more fragmented area of study, it becomes difficult to know the most scientific fields of study without reading a bunch of different perspectives.
Yeah, and I think Philosophy/philosophy of science is especially difficult because there are so many different perspectives. That plus philosophers are virtue in disagreeing with each other (on purpose), which is seen as a collaborative activity as coming close to truth. As I continue the series I’d like to get into Philosophy of individual disciplines, like Philosophy of Physics, Philosophy of Chemistry, etc. Feyerabend makes a controversial but interesting argument that each field in science has become so separate from each other with their own methods and tools that you really have to understand them independently. I’m currently reading a book by a Philosopher of Physics (to be honest, before reading I didn’t even know Phil Physics was even a real thing haha)
