Foundations of Science focuses on methodological and philosophical topics of foundational significance concerning the structure and the growth of science. It serves as a forum for exchange of views and ideas among working scientists and theorists of science and it seeks to promote interdisciplinary cooperation.

The aim of the journal is not simply to identify and highlight foundational issues and problems, but to suggest constructive solutions to the problems.
