Philosophy of Science: The Key Thinkers EPUB
Edited by Professor James Robert Brown
Part of the Key Thinkers series
EPUB
Description
All the great philosophers from Plato and Aristotle to the present day have been philosophers of science.
However, this book concentrates on modern philosophy of science, starting in the nineteenth century and offering coverage of all the leading thinkers in the field including Whewell, Mill, Reichenbach, Carnap, Popper, Feyerabend, Putnam, van Fraassen, Bloor, Latour, Hacking, Cartwright and many more.
Crucially the book demonstrates how the ideas and arguments of these key thinkers have contributed to our understanding of such central issues as experience and necessity, conventionalism, logical empiricism, induction and falsification, the sociology of science, and realism.
Ideal for undergraduate students, the book lays the necessary foundations for a complete and thorough understanding of this fascinating subject.
