A new pragmatist philosophy of science that conceives truth and reality as operational ideals achievable in actual scientific practice.

Recenzje

'It is a challenging task for philosophy of science to understand science in its subtlety and complexity. In this book, Hasok Chang achieves even more than that. His endeavour to make knowledge active is an inspiring contribution to reworking and improving the epistemic framework of science.' Martin Carrier, Bielefield University
