How the Laws of Physics Lie
ISBN: 9780198247043 / Angielski / Miękka / 1983 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this sequence of philosophical essays about natural science, Nancy Cartwright argues that fundamental explanatory laws, the deepest and most admired successes of modern physics, do not in fact describe the regularities that exist in nature. Yet she is not anti-realist'. Rather, she draws a novel distinction, arguing that theoretical entities, and the complex and localized laws that describe them, can be interpreted realistically, but that the simple unifying laws of basic theory cannot.

Nature's Capacities and Their Measurement
ISBN: 9780198235071 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Ever since David Hume, empiricists have barred powers and capacities from nature. In this book Cartwright argues that capacities are essential in our scientific world, and, contrary to empiricist orthodoxy, that they can meet sufficiently strict demands for testability. Econometrics is one discipline where probabilities are used to measure causal capacities, and the technology of modern physics provides several examples of testing capacities (such as lasers). Cartwright concludes by applying the lessons of the book about capacities and probabilities to the explanation of the role of causality...

Hunting Causes and Using Them: Approaches in Philosophy and Economics
ISBN: 9780521860819 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Hunting Causes and Using Them argues that causation is not one thing, as commonly assumed, but many. There is a huge variety of causal relations, each with different characterizing features, different methods for discovery and different uses to which it can be put. In this collection of new and previously published essays, Nancy Cartwright provides a critical survey of philosophical and economic literature on causality, with a special focus on the currently fashionable Bayes-nets and invariance methods - and it exposes a huge gap in that literature. Almost every account treats either...

The Dappled World: A Study of the Boundaries of Science
ISBN: 9780521644112 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this book Nancy Cartwright argues against a vision of a uniform world completely ordered under a single elegant theory, and proposes instead a patchwork of laws of nature. Combining classic and newly written essays, The Dappled World offers important methodological lessons for both the natural and the social sciences, and will interest anyone who wants to understand how modern science works.

Evidence-Based Policy: A Practical Guide to Doing It Better
ISBN: 9780199841622 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Over the last twenty or so years, it has become standard to require policy makers to base their recommendations on evidence. That is now uncontroversial to the point of triviality--of course, policy should be based on the facts. But are the methods that policy makers rely on to gather and analyze evidence the right ones? In Evidence-Based Policy, Nancy Cartwright, an eminent scholar, and Jeremy Hardie, who has had a long and successful career in both business and the economy, explain that the dominant methods which are in use now--broadly speaking, methods that imitate standard...

Rethinking Order: After the Laws of Nature
ISBN: 9781474244060 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book presents a radical new picture of natural order. The Newtonian idea of a cosmos ruled by universal and exceptionless laws has been superseded; replaced by a conception of nature as a realm of diverse powers, potencies, and dispositions, a 'dappled world'. There is order in nature, but it is more local, diverse, piecemeal, open, and emergent than Newton imagined. In each chapter expert authors expound the historical context of the idea of laws of nature, and explore the diverse sorts of order actually presupposed by work in physics, biology, and the social sciences. They... This book presents a radical new picture of natural order. The Newtonian idea of a cosmos ruled by universal and exceptionless laws has been supers... |
