Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Type: Book The philosophy of science has lost its self-confidence - witness the lack of advanced textbooks in contrast to the abundance of elementary handbooks. "Structures in Science" is an advanced textbook that explicates, updates, accommodates, and integrates the best insights of logical-empiricism and its main critics. This "neo-classical approach" aims at providing heuristic patterns for research.413pp.Synthese Library Volume 301. Seller Inventory # 048011

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Although there is an abundance of highly specialized monographs, learned collections and general introductions to the philosophy of science, only a few 25 years. synthetic monographs and advanced textbooks have appeared in the last The philosophy of science seems to have lost its self-confidence. The main reason for such a loss is that the traditional analytical, logical-empiricist approaches to the philosophy of science had to make a number of concessions, especially in response to the work of Popper, Kuhn and Lakatos. With Structures in Science I intend to present both a synthetic mono graph and an advanced textbook that accommodates and integrates the insight of these philosophers, in what I like to call a neo-classical approach. The resulting monograph elaborates several important topics from one or more perspectives, by distinguishing various kinds of research programs, and various ways of explaining and reducing laws and concepts, and by summarizing an integrated explication (presented in From Instrumentalism to Constructive Realism, ICR) of the notions of confirmation, empirical progress and truth approximation.
