The relationship between philosophy and science

The article aims to reconstruct and evaluate, from the perspective of the history of philosophy and science, the four main philosophical concepts of their relationship: the metaphysical (natural philosophical), the positivist (empiricist), the dualistic, and the dialectical one (the concept of the necessary internal relationship between philosophical and specific scientific knowledge). It is shown that only the dialectical concept is the one that best corresponds to the content, structure, and patterns of both modern science and modern philosophy.
