Description
This volume is a contribution to the ongoing debate on the distinction between a 'context of justification' and a 'context of discovery'. It is meant for researchers and advanced students in philosophy of science, and for natural and social scientists interested in foundational topics. Spanning a wide range of disciplines, it combines the viewpoint of philosophers and scientists and casts a new interdisciplinary perspective on the problem of observation and experimentation.
