From the Inside Flap
"These essays are the work of a genial, literate mind exploring a wide range of issues mainly centered on the philosophy of science and epistemology, but including considerations of literature, language, and social practice. Caws's work, in general, represents an independent and alternative current in the philosophy of science, one which is informed by a broader conception of scientific thought and activity than are the usual approaches of either the traditional logical-empiricists or the more recent post-positivists. And he has a knack for deflating the latest fashionable claims early in the game, even before fashion has set in."―Marx Wartofsky, Editor, The Philosophical Forum
About the Author
Peter Caws is University Professor of Philosophy at George Washington University. Among his recent books are Sartre (1984), and Structuralism: The Art of the Intelligible (1988).
