Abstract
The fundamental questions to be addressed are these: What is the impact of "postmodernism" on the relationship between philosophy and science? What are the possible
consequences of the postmodernist whirlwind on the status of philosophy in contemporary culture? And, does postmodernism add new
questions to the gnawing issue over the degree, if any, to which a philosopher
is a scientist? It would seem that the relationship between science and postmodern philosophy is a radically new one, not only
because the place of philosophy in culture is changing, but because the place of science in culture is undergoing a radical transformation as well.
