About this title

Synopsis:

An attempt to construct a unified cognitive theory of science. Topics include theories of science, models, realism, experiments, and more. Notes. References. Index. 321p.

From the Back Cover:

Explaining Science challenges fundamental presuppositions of both the philosophy and the sociology of science. Finding a naturalistic middle ground between positivism and relativism, Ronald N. Giere suggests that scientific theories are families of models (similar to the 'cognitive maps' or 'mental models' of cognitive science) that reflect scientists' cognitive interactions with the world they observe.
