Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

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.
