Hume's Problem : Induction and the Justification of Belief
ISBN: 9780198250371 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the mid-eighteenth century David Hume argued that successful prediction tells us nothing about the truth of the predicting theory. But physical theory routinely predicts the values of observable magnitudes within very small ranges of error. The chance of this sort of predictive success without a true theory suggests that Hume's argument is flawed. However, Colin Howson argues that there is no flaw and examines the implications of this disturbing conclusion; he also offers a solution to one of the central problems of Western philosophy, the problem of induction.

Logic with Trees: An Introduction to Symbolic Logic
ISBN: 9780415133425 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This introduction to modern formal logic also contains discussions on more philosophical issues, such as truth, conditionals and modal logic. It presents the formal material using informal explanations and arguments rather than rigorous development. Worked examples and exercises enable readers to check their progress. The aim is to equip students with: a complete and clear account of the truth-tree system for first order logic; the importance of logic and its relevance to many different disciplines; the skills needed to grasp sophisticated formal reasoning techniques necessary to explore...

Scientific Reasoning: The Bayesian Approach
ISBN: 9780812695786 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 470 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This user-friendly, comprehensive course in probability and statistics as applied to physical and social science explains the probability calculus, distributions and densities, and the rivals of Beyesianism - the classical, logical, and subjective theories. Howson and Urbach clearly lay out the theory of classical inference, the Neyman-Pearson theory of significance tests, the classical theory of estimation, and regression analysis. The work is controversial, but gives a fair and accurate account of the anti-Bayesian views it criticizes. The authors examined the way scientists actually appeal...

Method and Appraisal in the Physical Sciences: The Critical Background to Modern Science, 1800-1905
ISBN: 9780521113083 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. First published in 1976, this is a volume of studies on the problems of theory-appraisal in the physical sciences - how and why important theories are developed, changed and are replaced, and by what criteria we judge one theory an advance on another. The volume is introduced by a classic paper of Imre Lakatos's, which sets out a theory for tackling these problems - the methodology of scientific research programmes. Five contributors then test this theory against particular and celebrated case-studies in the history of the physical sciences (particularly in the nineteenth century). The volume...
