Computational philosophy of science

Abstract

Philosophy of science attempts to describe all parts of the scientific process in a general way in order to facilitate the description, execution and improvements of this process.So far, all proposed philosophies have only covered existing processes and disciplines partially and imperfectly.In particular logical approaches have always received a lot of attention due to attempts to fundamentally address issues with the definition of science as a discipline with reductionist theories.We propose a new way to approach the problem from the perspective of computational complexity and argue why this approach may be better than previous propositions based on pure logic and mathematics.Many scientists call for distinguishing computational science as a new kind of science (Wolfram 2002;Angius, Primiero, and Turner 2021).It is extremely important to provide a sensible philosophical definition of computational science since the discipline is rooted in disciplines of data science and empirical modelling of nature.The search for a satisfactory definition leads us to a new approach to the philosophy of science.It suggests that computational science may not be a new formal method of program construction but also a new approach to the philosophy of science itself.And indeed allows us to generalization of philosophy of science in a much more satisfactory way than many efforts to date(
