Science and Society: Studies in the Sociology of Science
ISBN: 9789401164580 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 536 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. "If a science has to be supported by fraudulent means, let it perish. " With these words of Kepler, Agassi plunges into the actual troubles and glories of science (321). The SOciology of science is no foreign intruder upon scientific knowledge in these essays, for we see clearly how Agassi transforms the tired internalistJexternalist debate about the causal influences in the history of science. The social character of the entire intertwined epistemological and practical natures of the sciences is intrinsic to science and itself split: the internal sociology within science, the external...

Popper and His Popular Critics: Thomas Kuhn, Paul Feyerabend and Imre Lakatos
ISBN: 9783319065861 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 158 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This volume examines Popper's philosophy by analyzing the criticism of his most popular critics: Thomas Kuhn, Paul Feyerabend and Imre Lakatos. They all followed his rejection of the traditional view of science as inductive. Starting from the assumption that Hume's criticism of induction is valid, the book explores the central criticism and objections that these three critics have raised. Their objections have met with great success, are significant and deserve paraphrase. One also may consider them reasonable protests against Popper's high standards rather than fundamental criticisms of...

Games to Play and Games not to Play: Strategic Decisions via Extensions of Game Theory
ISBN: 9783031276002 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book contributes to the theoretical discussions of equilibria that rest on error―in which we include mistaken choices of games to play. Extant game theory recommends diverse strategies (plans of actions) for various given games, particularly those in Nash equilibria, in which no player benefits from one-sided strategy alteration. The literature also refers to the design of games that fit given goals. This is the mechanism design theory; its function is to serve social planners ignorant of the preferences of the people intended to play them.Our study of games avoidance adds to game...

Science in Flux
ISBN: 9789027706126 / Angielski / Miękka / 1975 / 559 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Joseph Agassi is a critic, a gadfly, a debunker and deflater; he is also a constructor, a speculator and an imaginative scholaro In the history and philosophy of science, he has been Peck's bad boy, delighting in sharp and pungent criticism, relishing directness and simplicity, and enjoying it all enormously. As one of that small group of Popper's students (ineluding Bartley, Feyerabend and Lakatos) who took Popper seriously enough to criticize him, Agassi remained his own man, holding Popper's work itself to the criteria of critical refutation. Agassi's range is wide and his publications...

A Critical Rationalist Aesthetics
ISBN: 9789042023673 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book is a first attempt to cover the whole area of aesthetics from the point of view of critical rationalism. It takes up and expands upon the more narrowly focused work of E. H. Gombrich, Sheldon Richmond, and Raphael Sassower and Louis Ciccotello. The authors integrate the arts into the scientific world view and acknowledge that there is an aesthetic aspect to anything whatsoever. They pay close attention to the social situatedness of the arts. Their aesthetics treats art as emerging from craft in the form of luxurious and playful challenge to the audience. In developing it they place...

Philosophy from a Skeptical Perspective
ISBN: 9780521726399 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. One of the questions that philosophers discuss is: How can we avoid, or at least reduce, errors when explaining the world? The skeptical answer to this question is: We cannot avoid errors since no statement is certain or even definitely plausible, but we can eliminate some past errors. This book advocates the skeptical position and discusses its practical applications in science, ethics, aesthetics, and politics. It brings philosophy down to earth and comprises an outline of a skeptical guide to the real world.

Science and Culture
ISBN: 9781402011566 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. In Science and Culture, Joseph Agassi addresses scientism and relativism, two false philosophies that divorce science from culture in general and from tradition in particular. According to Agassi, science is an integral part of culture, and both scientism and relativism ignore the cultural value of science. This work helps break the isolation of science from the rest of culture by promoting popular science and reasonable history of science. Agassi provides examples of the value of science to culture at large, discussions of items of the general culture and their interactions...

Rationality: The Critical View
ISBN: 9789024734559 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. In our papers on the rationality of magic, we distinghuished, for purposes of analysis, three levels of rationality. First and lowest (rationalitYl) the goal directed action of an agent with given aims and circumstances, where among his circumstances we included his knowledge and opinions. On this level the magician's treatment of illness by incantation is as rational as any traditional doctor's blood-letting or any modern one's use of anti-biotics. At the second level (rationalitY2) we add the element of rational thinking or thinking which obeys some set of explicit rules, a level which is...
