Science is the study of things around us. It involves describing and understanding 'why' things occur, how they occur and when.
History and philosophy of science is the study of, precisely, the history and philosophy... of science. We usually categorise history and philosophy to be arts or social science: the study of human behaviour and human thinking.
With these broad definitions, could the 'history and philosophy of science' be considered a 'science' in the sense of the study of physical, chemical and biological phenomena and their interaction?
