The Discourses of Science
ISBN: 9780226656175 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 257 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. In this much anticipated revision and translation of Scienza e Retorica, Marcello Pera argues that rhetoric is central to the making of scientific knowledge. Pera begins with an attack of what he calls the "Cartesian syndrome"--the fixation on method common to both defenders of traditional philosophy of science and its detractors.

Rational Changes in Science: Essays on Scientific Reasoning
ISBN: 9789401081818 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. 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...
