I think you're going to have to do your own homework on this one! Check out the many books that come up simply by putting the phrase "philosophy of science" into an Amazon search: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Philosophy+of+Science

Or, for another angle, the number of articles that come up if you search the contents of the online Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (not exactly representative of "today"---but I suspect the issues don't change much): https://plato.stanford.edu/search/searcher.py?query=Philosophy+of+Science

Compare those to an article 100+ years ago on Philosophy in the Encyclopedia Britannica: http://encyclopedia.jrank.org/PER_PIG/PHILOSOPHY_Gr_gthos_fond_of_and.html

Ha ha. Hendrika is right -- you are going to have to do your own homework on this one. To do justice to your question would require at the least a very substantial Wikipedia entry. BTW:

Keep on truckin'. ;)
