Science and Hypothesis: Historical Essays on Scientific Methodology
ISBN: 9789401572903 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book consists of a collection of essays written between 1965 and 1981. Some have been published elsewhere; others appear here for the first time. Although dealing with different figures and different periods, they have a common theme: all are concerned with examining how the method of hy- pothesis came to be the ruling orthodoxy in the philosophy of science and the quasi-official methodology of the scientific community. It might have been otherwise. Barely three centuries ago, hypothetico- deduction was in both disfavor and disarray. Numerous rival methods for scientific inquiry -...

Truth, Error, and Criminal Law: An Essay in Legal Epistemology
ISBN: 9780521730358 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book treats problems in the epistemology of the law. Beginning with the premise that the principal function of a criminal trial is to find out the truth about a crime, Larry Laudan examines the rules of evidence and procedure that would be appropriate if the discovery of the truth were, as higher courts routinely claim, the overriding aim of the criminal justice system. Laudan mounts a systematic critique of existing rules and procedures that are obstacles to that quest. He also examines issues of error distribution by offering the first integrated analysis of the various mechanisms the...

Progress and Its Problems: Towards a Theory of Scientific Growth
ISBN: 9780520037212 / Angielski / Miękka / 1978 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "A book that shakes philosophy of science to its roots. Laudan both destroys and creates. With detailed, scathing criticisms, he attacks the 'pregnant confusions' in extant philosophies of science. The progress they espouse derives from strictly empirical criteria, he complains, and this clashes with historical evidence. Accordingly, Laudan constructs a remedy from historical examples that involves nothing less than the redefinition of scientific rationality and progress . . . Surprisingly, after this reshuffling, science still looks like a noble-and progressive-enterprise ... The glory of...

Science and Relativism: Some Key Controversies in the Philosophy of Science
ISBN: 9780226469492 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In recent years, many members of the intellectual community have embraced a radical relativism regarding knowledge in general and scientific knowledge in particular, holding that Kuhn, Quine, and Feyerabend have knocked the traditional picture of scientific knowledge into a cocked hat. Is philosophy of science, or mistaken impressions of it, responsible for the rise of relativism? In this book, Laudan offers a trenchant, wide-ranging critique of cognitive relativism and a thorough introduction to major issues in the philosophy of knowledge.

ISBN: 9780520057432 / Angielski / Miękka / 1986 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Laudan constructs a fresh approach to a longtime problem for the philosopher of science: how to explain the simultaneous and widespread presence of both agreement and disagreement in science. Laudan critiques the logical empiricists and the post-positivists as he stresses the need for centrality and values and the interdependence of values, methods, and facts as prerequisites to solving the problems of consensus and dissent in science.

The Law's Flaws: Rethinking Trials and Errors?
ISBN: 9781848901995 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) This is a book about the law’s failure as a system of empirical inquiry. While the US Supreme Court repeatedly says that the aim of a trial is to find out the truth about a crime, there is abundant evidence that many of the rules of evidence and legal procedure are not truth-conducive. Quite the contrary; many are truth-thwarting. Relevant evidence of defendant’s guilt is often excluded; reasonable inferences from the available evidence are likewise often excluded. When a defendant elects not to testify, jurors are told to draw no inculpatory inferences from... This is a book about the law’s failure as a system of empirical inquiry.
