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.

Since the various scientific disciplines have become so specialized and inaccessible to workers in different areas of science, one of the goals of the journal is to present the foundational issues of science in a way that is free from unnecessary technicalities yet faithful to the scientific content. The aim of the journal is not simply to identify and highlight foundational issues and problems, but to suggest constructive solutions to the problems.

The editors of the journal admit that various sciences have approaches and methods that are peculiar to those individual sciences. However, they hold the view that important truths can be discovered about and by the sciences and that truths transcend cultural and political contexts. Although properly conducted historical and sociological inquiries can explain some aspects of the scientific enterprise, the editors believe that the central foundational questions of contemporary science can be posed and answered without recourse to sociological or historical methods.

《科学基础》关注与科学结构和发展有关的具有基础意义的方法论和哲学主题。它是科学工作者和理论家交换观点和思想的论坛，并致力于促进跨学科合作。

由于各种科学学科已经变得如此专业化，不同科学领域的工作者无法接触到，该期刊的目标之一是以一种摆脱不必要的技术性但忠实于科学内容的方式呈现科学的基础问题。该期刊的目的不仅仅是识别和强调基础问题和问题，而是提出建设性的解决方案。

该期刊的编辑们承认，各种科学都有其独特的方法和方法。然而，他们认为，重要的真理可以通过科学发现，真理超越文化和政治背景。尽管正确进行的历史学和社会学探究可以解释科学事业的某些方面，但编辑们相信，当代科学的核心基础问题可以在不借助社会学或历史方法的情况下提出和回答。
