Issues

• Science as ongoing change
• Philosophy of science draws from science, and therefore should differ depending on the particular science/period it draws from?
• Popper/Kuhn/etc largely draw from physics from Copernicus to present
  Yield issues such as
  • essentialism vs relativism
  • realism vs constructivism
  • non-intentionality vs intentionality
  • objectivity vs subjectivity
• Would philosophy of science be different, yield different issues if it reflected different science/period?

An alternative science/period: Darwin (1860) and following (see also Adam Smith)
(Daniel Dennett, Darwin's Dangerous Idea, Chapters 1-3

• transition from essentialist to non-essentialist characterization of kinds of living things
• fundamental historical character to "explanation"
• continuity of inanimate/animate, matter/spirit, non--intentionality/intentionality
• absence of architect/designer
• randomness plus differential survival
• in biological world at least, no Truth?, no Reality?
