Scientific Objectivity and Its Contexts
ISBN: 9783319357348 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 482 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The first part of this book is of an epistemological nature and develops an original theory of scientific objectivity, understood in a weak sense (as intersubjective agreement among the specialists) and a strong sense (as having precise concrete referents). In both cases it relies upon the adoption of operational criteria designed within the particular perspective under which any single science considers reality. The "object" so attained has a proper ontological status, dependent on the specific character of the criteria of reference (regional ontologies). This justifies a form of scientific...

Complexity and Emergence, Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the International Academy of the Philosophy of Science
ISBN: 9789812381583 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Complexity has become a central topic in certain sectors of theoretical physics and chemistry (for example, in connection with nonlinearity and deterministic chaos). Also, mathematical measurements of complexity and formal characterizations of this notion have been proposed. The question of how complex systems can show properties that are different from those of their constituent parts has nurtured philosophical debates about emergence and reductionism, which are particularly important in the study of the relationship between physics, chemistry, biology and psychology. This book offers a good...

Probability in the Sciences
ISBN: 9789027728081 / Angielski / Twarda / 1988 / 269 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Probability has become one of the most characteristic con cepts of modern culture, and a 'probabilistic way of thinking' may be said to have penetrated almost every sector of our in tellectual life. However it would be difficult to determine an explicit list of 'positive' features, to be proposed as identifica tion marks of this way of thinking. One would rather say that it is characterized by certain 'negative' features, i. e. by certain at titudes which appear to be the negation of well established tra ditional assumptions, conceptual frameworks, world outlooks and the like. It is because...

Epistemology and the Social
ISBN: 9789042024212 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 231 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Epistemology had to come to terms with "the social" on two different occasions. The first was represented by the dispute about the epistemological status of the "social" sciences, and in this case the already well established epistemology of the natural sciences seemed to have the right to dictate the conditions for a discipline to be a science. But the social sciences could successfully vindicate the legitimacy of their specific criteria for scientificity. More recently, the impact of social factors on the construction of our knowledge (including scientific knowledge) has reversed, in a...

Philosophy of Mathematics Today
ISBN: 9780792343431 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 361 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Mathematics is often considered as a body of knowledge that is essen tially independent of linguistic formulations, in the sense that, once the content of this knowledge has been grasped, there remains only the problem of professional ability, that of clearly formulating and correctly proving it. However, the question is not so simple, and P. Weingartner's paper (Language and Coding-Dependency of Results in Logic and Mathe matics) deals with some results in logic and mathematics which reveal that certain notions are in general not invariant with respect to different choices of language and of...

Problem of the Unity of Science, the - Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the International Academy of the Philosophy of Science
ISBN: 9789810247911 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The unity of science has been a widely discussed issue both in the philosophy of science and within several sciences. Reductionism has often been seen as the means of bringing the different sciences to a fundamental unity by reference to some basic science, but it shows many limitations. Multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity have also been proposed as methodologies for attaining unity without underestimating the diversity of the sciences. This volume starts with a clarification of the possible meanings of this unity and then discusses the features of the mentioned approaches to unity,...
