What Is This Thing Called Science?: An Assessment of the Nature and Status of Science and Its Methods - Softcover
Synopsis
This new edition of Chalmers's highly regarded and widely read work-translated
into fifteen languages-is extensively rewritten and reorganized, reflecting the experience of the author, his colleagues, and correspondents in twenty years of teaching from the previous edition. Significant additions are new chapters on the Bayesian approach to science, the new experimentalism, the nature of scientific laws, and the realism/anti-realism debate. An ideal introduction to scientific method, Chalmers's work is both accessible to beginners and a valuable
resource for advanced students and scholars.
