ISBN: 9789048146031 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 225 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) In this collection we finally find the philosophy of technology, a young and rapidly developing area of scholarly interest, making contact with history of science and technology, and mainstream epistemological and metaphysical issues.

Pictures, Images, and Conceptual Change: An Analysis of Wilfrid Sellars' Philosophy of Science
ISBN: 9789027712776 / Angielski / Miękka / 1981 / 165 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) In this essay I am concerned with the problem of conceptual change. There are, needless to say, many ways to approach the issue. But, as I see it, the problem reduces to showing how present and future systems of thought are the rational extensions of prior ones. This goal may not be attainable. Kuhn, for example, suggests that change is mainly a function of socio-economic pressures (taken broadly). But there are some who believe that a case can be made for the rationality of change, especially in science. Wilfrid Sellars is one of those. While Sellars has developed a full account of the...

This book is about is more than a subdiscipline within the field of economics---it is about a new field named -public choice political economy- that gradually evolved during the 1970s and 1980s at Virginia Polytechnic Institute in Blacksburg, Virginia. What is the field Public Choice Political Economy all about? How did it originate? Who were the main architects and builders? What values and work habits motivated the work? Finally, how did the facts about the development of public choice political economy stack up against what we know about science in general and how it has developed? ...This book is about is more than a subdiscipline within the field of economics---it is about a new field named -public choice political economy- tha... |

Doing Philosophy of Technology: Essays in a Pragmatist Spirit
ISBN: 9789400708198 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) As science becomes more deeply embedded in a complex technological infrastructure, has this changed the relationship between the sciences and the various technologies that support them? As our technologies help shrink our world, can we restrict our ethical concerns or must we find a way to face the fact that we are now one world? What do new forms of architecture say about whom we are? Is the design process the new epistemological paradigm? The answers to all of these is "yes" according to Joseph C. Pitt (VirginaTech).

Philosophy in Economics: Papers Deriving from and Related to a Workshop on Testability and Explanation in Economics Held at Virginia Polytechni
ISBN: 9789400983960 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The essays in this volume are the result of a workshop held at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in April, 1979. The assembled group was diverse, comprised of philosophers, economists, and statisticians. But it was not the complete group on which we had initially planned. Richard Rudner was in France on sabbatical and was unable to fly back for the occa- sion. His untimely death the following summer saddened us all, for we lost not just a colleague but a friend. This book is dedicated to him out of the spirit of friendship and in appreciation for the ground breaking work he...

Galileo, Human Knowledge, and the Book of Nature: Method Replaces Metaphysics
ISBN: 9789401051583 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 201 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Galileo is revered as one of the founders of modern science primarily because of such discoveries as the law of falling bodies and the moons of Jupiter. In addition to his scientific achievements, Professor Pitt argues that Galileo deserves increased attention for his contributions to the methodology of the new science and that his method retains its value even today.
In a detailed analysis of Galileo's mature works, Pitt reconstructs crucial features of Galileo's epistemology. He shows how Galileo's methodological insights grow out of an appreciation of the limits of human knowledge...

Technological Transformation: Contextual and Conceptual Implications
ISBN: 9789027728272 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The philosophical study of technology has acquired only recently a voice in academic conversation. This situation is due, in part, to the fact that technology obviously impacts on "the real world," whereas the favored stereotype of philosophy allegedly does not. Furthermore, in some circles it was assumed that philosophy ought not impinge on the world. This bias continues today in the form of a general dismissal of the growing area now referred to as "applied philosophy." By contrast, the academic scrutiny of science has for the most part been accepted as legitimate for some 30 years,...

Rational Changes in Science: Essays on Scientific Reasoning
ISBN: 9789401081818 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) THE PROBLEMS OF SCIENTIFIC RATIONALITY Fashion is a fickle mistress. Only yesterday scientific rationality enjoyed considerable attention, consideration, and even reverence among phi- losophers; "but today's fashion leads us to despise it, and the matron, rejected and abandoned as Hecuba, complains; modo maxima rerum, tot generis natisque potens - nunc trahor exui, inops," to cite Kant for our purpose, who cited Ovid for his. Like every fashion, ours also has its paradoxical aspects, as John Watkins correctly reminds in an essay in this volume. Enthusiasm for science was high among...
