Scientific Knowledge and the Transgression of Boundaries
ISBN: 9783658144487 / Angielski / Miękka / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The aim of this book is to understand and critically appraise science-based transgression dynamics in their whole complexity. It includes contributions from experts with different disciplinary backgrounds, such as philosophy, history and sociology. Thus, it is in itself an example of boundary transgression.Scientific disciplines and their objects have tended to be seen as permanent and distinct. However, science is better conceived as an activity that constantly surpasses, erases and rebuilds all kinds of boundaries, either disciplinary, socio-ethical or ecological. This transgressive...

ISBN: 9781349542222 / Angielski / Miękka / 241 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book questions the way that modern science and technology are considered able to liberate society from the erratic forces of nature.

Explanatory Pluralism
ISBN: 9781107128514 / Angielski / Twarda / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Explaining phenomena is one of the main activities in which scientists engage. This book proposes a new philosophical theory of scientific explanation by developing and defending the position of explanatory pluralism with the help of the notion of 'explanatory games'. Mantzavinos provides a descriptive account of the explanatory activity of scientists in different domains and shows how they differ from commonsensical explanations offered in everyday life by ordinary people and also from explanations offered in religious contexts. He also shows how an evaluation and a critical appraisal of...

Scientific Pluralism Reconsidered: A New Approach to the (Dis)Unity of Science
ISBN: 9780822944584 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Can we expect our scientific theories to make up a unified structure, or do they form a kind of "patchwork" whose pieces remain independent from each other? Does the proliferation of sometimes-incompatible representations of the same phenomenon compromise the ability of science to deliver reliable knowledge? Is there a single correct way to classify things that science should try to discover, or is taxonomic pluralism here to stay? These questions are at the heart of philosophical debate on the unity or plurality of science, one of the most central issues in philosophy of science today. This...

Theorie Der Wissenschaft: Band 2: Das Werden Der Wissenschaft
ISBN: 9783658140427 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 327 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Dieser Band bietet eine umfassende Einfuhrung in die geschichtliche Entwicklung von Wissenschaft seit der Antike. Menschen sind historische Wesen, d.h. ihr Denken und Handeln sind durch ihre historische Gewordenheit bestimmt. Dies gilt besonders fur die Wissenschaft, die sich stets im Zustand der fortlaufenden Entwicklung befindet, weil das Denkvermogen des Menschen, das ihn zum wissenschaftlichen Denken befahigt, erst in einigen tausend Jahren kultureller Entwicklung entstanden ist. Beginnend mit den mythischen Bewutseins- und Denkformen wird das Werden des begrifflichen und erkennenden...

Emergence
ISBN: 9780190620325 / Angielski / Twarda / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Interest in emergence amongst philosophers and scientists has grown in recent years, yet the concept continues to be viewed with skepticism by many. In this book, Paul Humphreys argues that many of the problems arise from a long philosophical tradition that is overly committed to synchronic reduction and has been overly focused on problems in philosophy of mind. He develops a novel account of diachronic ontological emergence called transformational emergence, shows that it is free of the problems raised against synchronic accounts, shows that there are plausible examples of transformational...

Cultures without Culturalism: The Making of Scientific Knowledge
ISBN: 9780822363729 / Angielski / Miękka / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Cultural accounts of scientific ideas and practices have increasingly come to be welcomed as a corrective to previous--and still widely held--theories of scientific knowledge and practices as universal. The editors caution, however, against the temptation to overgeneralize the work of culture, and to lapse into a kind of essentialism that flattens the range and variety of scientific work. The book refers to this tendency as culturalism. The contributors to the volume model a new path where historicized and cultural accounts of scientific practice retain their specificity and complexity...

Is Science Racist?

Every arena of science has its own flash-point issues ? chemistry and poison gas, physics and the atom bomb ? and genetics has had a troubled history with race. As Jonathan Marks reveals, this dangerous relationship rumbles on to this day, still leaving plenty of leeway for a belief in the basic natural inequality of races.

Science, Religion, and the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence
ISBN: 9780198797685 / Angielski / Miękka / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. If the discovery of life elsewhere in the universe is just around the corner, what would be the consequences for religion? Would it represent another major conflict between science and religion, even leading to the death of faith? Some would suggest that the discovery of any suggestion of extraterrestrial life would have a greater impact than even the Copernican and Darwinian revolutions.
It is now over 50 years since the first modern scientific papers were published on the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI). Yet the religious implications of this search and possible...
