TöbbHosszú leírás:
In this, the first book devoted to Peter Achinstein's influential work in philosophy of science, twenty distinguished philosophers, including four Lakatos award winners, address various aspects of Achinstein's influential views on the nature of scientific evidence, scientific explanation, and scientific realism. It includes short essays by Steve Gimbel and Jeff Maynes, Nancy Cartwright, Jordi Cat, Victor DiFate, Jerry Doppelt, Adam Goldstein, Philip Kitcher, Fred Kronz, Deborah Mayo, Greg Morgan, Helen Longino, John Norton, Michael Ruse, Bas van Fraassen, Stathis Psillos, Larry Laudan, Richard Richards, Kent Staley, and Jim Woodward with replies to each contributor from Peter Achinstein. Readers will come away with an understanding of the current debate in multiple areas of philosophy of science and how various contemporary issues are connected.
This is a wonderful collection of papers written on the work of a first-rate philosopher, and careful study of these essays is amply rewarded. Achinstein has thought long and hard about these issues, and his critics are mostly similarly experienced and insightful. With the inclusion of a final chapter with replies to his critics, this is a comprehensive collection on Achinstein's philosophy of science that will edify those familiar with his work as well as opening the door to his views for the uninitiated.
