Philosophy of Science- Charles Darwin
Charles Darwin's greatest contribution to the Philosophy of Science is his scientific research at the Galapagos Islands that contributed to his Theory of Evolution. In 1831 Darwin was given a job as a naturalist aboard the British ship the HMS Beagle, which allowed him the ability to travel around the world and study nature. Darwin created an evolutionary theory about living creatures that was different to other naturalists in his time.

Philosophy of Science- John Stuart Mill
John Stuart Mill's greatest contribution to the Philosophy of Science is in his use of inductive reasoning. Mill created his five principles, also known as Mill's Methods. These five principles include the method of agreement, method of difference, joint method of agreement & difference, method of residues, and the method of concomitant variation. This method of inductive reasoning has been an important influence on the world of science.

Philosophy of Science- Bertrand Russell
Bertrand Russell is perhaps one of the world’s most influential philosophers, with many brilliant ideas in the Philosophy of Science. Russell’s most influential idea is his idea of monism, which suggests that things that mental and material are made of the same substance (Rosalind). Russell suggested that science is what we know, and that philosophy is what we do not know. His ideas actually led to the Philosophy of Science being separate branch of philosophy altogether. -
Philosophy of Science- Werner Heisenberg
Heisenberg's most influential contribution to the Philosophy of Science is his Uncertainty Principle. His Uncertainty Principle states that it is impossible to simultaneously know an object's place in the universe and its speed. While this theory was hugely influential in quantum physics, it is also relevant in many other fields, including philosophy, and literature.
