Scientists generally have a Ph.D. degree in science. Although the Ph. in Ph.D. stands for philosophy, 99% of scientists don't learn philosophy, or even philosophy of science.
That said, a scientist without a Ph.D. is a rare bird.
- smitty1e 4y ago"Philosophy" more in the literal "love of wisdom" for the topic sense than the ontology/epistemology sense.
- bawolff 4y agoI dont mean PhD's in science or degrees in "natural philosophy", but actual philosophy lf science. Philosophy of science studies what it means to do science in a meta sense. A PhD in science is how to actually be a scientist. This is a critical difference. The papers in the linked article are akin to the former not the latter.
