PIERRE DUHEM’DE BİLİMLER SINIFLAMASI
CLASSIFICATION OF SCIENCES IN PIERRE DUHEM

Summary/Abstract: The sciences are parts of a great whole, to wit, the members of a magnificent system. Each of them has manifold relations to every other. Thus, there must be a science of the sciences, a science which determines the principles and conditions, the limits and relations, of the sciences. This science is philosophy which is the queen of all the sciences. One of the crucial problems with which philosophy should deal seems to be how may the sciences be rationally arranged and classified. Since before now there has been a continuous series of attempts to classify the sciences in philosophy. So, the classification of the sciences is one of the fundamental problems of philosophy and this paper is interested in setting forth Duhem’s classification of sciences as sciences of reasoning, empirical sciences and historical sciences.
