The science of philosophy is an interdisciplinary field that explores the philosophical foundations of science and the scientific method. Theory building is the systematic process of developing a set of concepts, relationships, and explanations that help us understand, interpret, and predict phenomena. Its purpose is to organize knowledge into a coherent structure that explains why things happen and how they are connected.
