Features: Starting from Kant's definition of science, this book combines the research achievements of linguistics and analytic philosophy. With the unique depth and humor of German thinkers, it integrates natural sciences with the humanities or social sciences, offering many interesting perspectives on what science is. The book is divided into three parts. The first part begins with analytic theory, introducing basic concepts in natural and humanities sciences. The second part focuses on classical theories in the philosophy of science, accurately pointing out the internal connections, characteristics, and shortcomings of these theories. The third part attempts to find common ground between the humanities and natural sciences, proposing the author's very unique insights through the introduction of hermeneutics, dialectics, and evolution theory.
