内容説明
These essays by leading philosophers of science exemplify and illuminate the contemporary uncertainty and excitement in this changing field. The far-reaching criticism challenges arguments long prevalent in classic philosophical problems of induction, empiricism and realism. By turns empirical or analytic, historical or programmatic, confessional or argumentative, the authors both describe and demonstrate the fact that the philosophy of science is in a ferment more intense than at any time since the heyday of logical positivism 70 years ago.
