Philosophy of Science : A Contemporary Introduction, Paperback / softback Book

Philosophy of Science : A Contemporary Introduction Paperback / softback

Part of the Routledge Contemporary Introductions to Philosophy series

Paperback / softback

Description

This user-friendly text covers key issues in the philosophy of science in an accessible and philosophically serious way.

It will prove valuable to students studying philosophy of science as well as science students. Prize-winning author Alex Rosenberg explores the philosophical problems that science raises by its very nature and method.

He skilfully demonstrates that scientific explanation, laws, causation, theory, models, evidence, reductionism, probability, teleology, realism and instrumentalism actually pose the same questions that Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Hume, Kant and their successors have grappled with for centuries.
