Abstract

Rationality of Science is one of the central issues in philosophy of science. There are several kinds of rationality in science including hypothesis-deductive rationality, probability-inductive rationality, algorithmic rationality, and value rationality of evaluative and choice of science. Aspects of rationality should be taken into account in order to overcome the one-sided perspective of analytic school and pragmatic school in philosophy of science.
