Description

Prepared by nine distinguished philosophers and historians of science, this thoughtful reader represents a co-operative effort to provide an introduction to the philosophy of science focused on cultivating an understanding of both the workings of science and its historical and social context. Selections range from discussions of topics in general methodology to a sampling of foundational problems in various physical, biological, behavioural, and social sciences.
