In this paper I consider a number of metaphilosophical problems
concerning the relations between logic and philosophy of science, as they appear
from the neo-classical perspective on philosophy of science outlined by Theo
Kuipers in ICR and SiS. More specifically, I focus on two pairs of issues: (A) the
(dis)similarities between the goals and methods of logic and those of philosophy of
science, w.r.t. (1) the role of theorems within the two disciplines; (2) the falsifiability
of their theoretical claims; and (B) the interactions between logic and philosophy of
science, w.r.t. (3) the possibility of applying logic in philosophy of science; (4) the
possibility that the two disciplines are sources of challenging problems for each
other.
