Philosophy of Science
I am particularly interested in that part of philosophy that deals with the foundations, methods and implications of science.
The difference between science and non-science, the reliability of scientific theories, and the purpose and ultimate meaning of science as a human activity.
I focus on the metaphysical, epistemic, and semantic aspects of scientific practice, investigating metaphysics, ontology, logic, and epistemology, exploring the relationship between science and the concept of truth.
