1) What is scientific philosophy?

Scientific philosophy believes that philosophy is one more science and
that it must apply the hypothetical-deductive method like any other
science.

Its object of study is the reality as a whole: it is all that is
relevant to build our vision of the world and our place in it, but it
do not want to look at concrete details, which are the object of study
of other sciences. For example, it wants to know that nature works
with causes and consequences, but it do no want to study concrete
natural causes and consequences.

2) But is not philosophy very different from other sciences?

The hypothetical-deductive method has the following four steps:

1) Problem observation.
2) Elaboration of a provisional hypothesis.
3) Deduction of the logical consequences of the hypothesis.
4) Verification of the consequences with new observations.
