Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Unmatched in breadth and depth, Philosophy of Science addresses the pivotal questions that have occupied philosophers and scientists in this century. Forty-six readings by leading thinkers such as Thomas S. Kuhn, Sir Karl Popper, and Philip Kitcher examine issues ranging from models of explanation to theoretic confirmation and prediction; from the significance of rationality, values, and objectivity to the arguments for and against scientific empiricism and realism, with two unique chapters on "Science and Pseudoscience" and "Laws of Nature". Synopsis:An anthology of 50 texts. It is divided into nine sections, each of which is followed by a detailed commentary enabling students to understand the main philosophical points and unfamiliar terms and theories. Synopsis:Philosophy of Science: The Central Issues offers a balanced and comprehensive survey to the main currents in twentieth-century philosophy of science. Gathering 49 readings on a variety of topics-science and pseudoscience; rationality, objectivity, and values in science; laws of nature; models of explanation, among others-this anthology introduces students to the often challenging problems examined by major thinkers in the field. Combine this with thoughtful and thorough apparatus, and Philosophy of Science: The Central Issues is the most flexible and comprehensive collection ever created for undergraduate courses.
