Arguments in favour of a general image science

In this paper I want to make an attempt at responding to the question how the claimed interdisciplinary image science can be systematically promoted and finally established. This is not a question of how further interdisciplinary conferences and publications can be realised. Rather this paper intends to offer suggestions how existing cooperation might and should be organised independently from individual scientists in order to generate a remaining academic appreciation. In clarifying such conceptual questions I see a specific philosophical contribution to image science.
