Synopsis:
Philosophy of Science: The Central Issues offers a balanced and comprehensive survey to the main currents in twentieth-century philosophy of science.
Gathering 49 readings on a variety of topics―science and pseudoscience; rationality, objectivity, and values in science; laws of nature; models of explanation, among others―this anthology introduces students to the often challenging problems examined by major thinkers in the field. Combine this with thoughtful and thorough apparatus, and Philosophy of Science: The Central Issues is the most flexible and comprehensive collection ever created for undergraduate courses.
