Science and the Quest for Reality PDF
Edited by Alfred I. Tauber
Part of the Main Trends of the Modern World series
Description
Science and the Quest for Reality is an interdisciplinary anthology that situates contemporary science within its complex philosophical, historical, and sociological contexts.
The anthology is divided between, firstly, characterizing science as an intellectual activity and, secondly, defining its social role.
The philosophical and historical vicissitudes of science's truth claims has raised profound questions concerning the role of science in society beyond its technological innovations.
The deeper philosophical issues thus complement the critical inquiry concerning the broader social and ethical influence of contemporary science.
In the tradition of the 'Main Trends of the Modern World' series, this volume includes both classical and contemporary works on the subject.
