Philosophy: Epistemology / Science Template‑class | ||||||||||||||||||||||

(or say, main figures in the forming of philosophy of science)
@Presearch:
Anyway, so far, my opinion is still to sort them by era and, in modern, by importance, just like in Philosophers of science. SzMithrandir (talk) 17:00, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Editing these kind of template is really challenging for me; if anyone is a true expert, s/he is very honoured to stand forth and lead. One thing for sure: this template has to be fixed. SzMithrandir (talk) 01:20, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
User:SzMithrandir wants to create a separate "founders" section for philosophers of science that in his view qualify as "founders". As already noted above, in order for this section to be anything but the user SzM's POV, he/she must show that there is a basis among WP:RS for such a section. There is no such section on the page philosophy of science, so any attempt to include a "founders" section on this template is simply POV. If user SzM tries to create a "founders" section on Philosophy of Science, that might be a step towards justifying such a section on this template, but for such a section to be balanced, it should have multiple reliable references, and reflect a consensus of those sources. So it cannot be hastily used to justify a "founders" section on this template; it must be allowed to mature and stabilize and alow time for input from multiple editors.
I eliminated the templates' unjustified "founders" section, but user SzM restored it in a reversion. I found his accompanying change log incoherent and incomprehensible. Therefore I will now revert to POV-free version using WP:BRD. User SzM is should now leave the page free of those changes, until resoultion on this talk page, or he/she will risk administrative action due to edit warring.-- Presearch (talk) 01:40, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

I have add Adolf Grunbaum few monts ago, and I believe that he is important to be part of this template. I think that it is appropriate to have on list more contemporary philosophers, because it enables navigation through latest views in philosophy of science (and every other area of philosophy) what can be of great interest for the reader. I propose several criteria for philosopher to be included in template: to publish widely on philosophy of science but not only in some very narrow sub field, to generate wide critical attention (not only reviews of books what is standard but also articles, dissertations and monographs) and to win some prestigious award for his work in the philosophy of science (like Lakatos Award or Carl Hempel Award). I believe that Hilary Putnam should be included in the template - in last half century he published dozens of articles in different areas of philosophy of science (from philosophy of time in the crossroad of philosophy of science and metaphysics to intersection of quantum physics and philosophy, scientific realism etc). --Vojvodae please be free to write :) 13:41, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
there seems to have been some confusion about what "philosophy of science" is, which is not the same as "the parts of philosophy we now call science." I've removed much that seems to have been added to this template under that confusion of terms - car chasm (talk) 04:39, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
