Philosophy of Geometry from Riemann to Poincaré
ISBN: 9789027718372 / Angielski / Miękka / 461 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Geometry has fascinated philosophers since the days of Thales and Pythagoras. In the 17th and 18th centuries it provided a paradigm of knowledge after which some thinkers tried to pattern their own metaphysical systems. But after the discovery of non-Euclidean geometries in the 19th century, the nature and scope of geometry became a bone of contention. Philosophical concern with geometry increased in the 1920's after Einstein used Riemannian geometry in his theory of gravitation. During the last fifteen or twenty years, renewed interest in the latter theory -prompted by advances in cosmology...

Science Policy, Ethics, and Economic Methodology: Some Problems of Technology Assessment and Environmental-Impact Analysis
ISBN: 9789027718457 / Angielski / Miękka / 321 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. If indeed scientists and technologists, especially economists, set much of the agenda by which the future is played out, and I think they do, then the student of scientific methodology and public ethics has at least three options. He can embrace certain scientific methods and the value they hold for social decisionmaking, much as Milton Friedman has accepted neoclassical econom ics. Or, he can condemn them, regardless of their value, much as Stuart Hampshire has rejected risk-cost-benefit analysis (RCBA). Finally, he can critically assess these scientific methods and attempt to provide...

Time: Its Structure and Role in Physical Theories
ISBN: 9789027718945 / Angielski / Twarda / 227 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book on the structure and role of time in physical theories addresses itself to scientists and philosophers intereste:'i in the 'no man's lard' between science and philosophy, in particular between physics and philoso- phy. The p:lint of departure is physical time, Le. time as usErl 1:[yen] physicists in their theories; but the analysis is not oonfined to a purely physical level but caries the problem into the domain of philosophical in- quiry. Altoough the book presupp:lses some knowledge of physics, I have avoided, wherever p:lssible, the use of advanced mathematics and technical...

Epistemology, Methodology, and Philosophy of Science: Essays in Honour of Carl G. Hempel on the Occasion of His 80th Birthday, January 8th 1985
ISBN: 9789027719126 / Angielski / Twarda / 484 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Professor C. G. Hempel (known to a host of admirers and friends as 'Peter' Hempel) is one of the most esteemed and best loved philosophers in the If an Empiricist Saint were not somewhat of a Meinongian Impos world. sible Object, one might describe Peter Hempel as an Empiricist Saint. In deed, he is as admired for his brilliance, intellectual flexibility, and crea tivity as he is for his warmth, kindness, and integrity, and does not the presence of so many wonderful qualities in one human being assume the dimensions of an impossibility? But Peter Hempel is not only possible but actual One of...

Rationality in Science and Politics
ISBN: 9789027719539 / Angielski / Miękka / 307 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This remarkable collection of essays, diverse but united by the theme of critical reasoning, testifies to the attention and respect paid by the authors to the philosophical career of Gerard Radnitzky. We, too, greet Professor Radnitzky for his decades of intellectual labor devoted to the establishment of rational analysis of human problems. Not least of his concerns has been to understand what it is to be rational, to disentangle the apparently rational and the genuine, to separate dogma from justified belief, to cherish imagination while seeking its test. If Radnitzky has long been known for...

A Portrait of Twenty-Five Years: Boston Colloquium for the Philosophy of Science 1960-1985
ISBN: 9789027719713 / Angielski / Miękka / 327 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Boston Colloquium for the Philosophy of Science began 2S years ago as an interdisciplinary, interuniversity collaboration of friends and colleagues in philosophy, logic, the natural sciences and the social sciences, psychology, religious studies, arts and literature, and often the celebrated man-in-the- street. Boston University came to be the home base. Within a few years, pro- ceedings were seen to be candidates for publication, first suggested by Gerald Holton for the journal Synthese within the Synthese Library, both from the D. Reidel Publishing Company of Dordrecht, then and now in...

Sociobiology and Epistemology
ISBN: 9789027720054 / Angielski / Twarda / 281 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The papers presented in this special collection focus upon conceptual, the oretical and epistemological aspects of sociobiology, an emerging discipline that deals with the extent to which genetic factors influence or control patterns of behavior as well as the extent to which patterns of behavior, in turn, influence or control genetic evolution. The Prologue advances a compre hensive acco/unt of the field of gene-culture co-evolution, where Lumsden and Gushurst differentiate between "classical" sociobiology (represented especially by Wilson's early work) and current research on human socio...

The Social Relations of Physics, Mysticism, and Mathematics: Studies in Social Structure, Interests, and Ideas
ISBN: 9789027720849 / Angielski / Miękka / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The problems I address in this book are among the least studied in the soci ology of science and knowledge. Part I is a critique of the claim that there are parallels between ancient mysticism and modern physics, and a sociological analysis of this claim as a strategy in intellectual conflict. This study must. ultimately be rooted more firmly in a: type of sociology of knowledge that is just now beginning to crystallize (and which I discuss in Chapter 7), and a sociology of religion that is not so much unknown as underground, and timid, that is, a non-worshipful materialist sociology of...

Science, Action, and Reality
ISBN: 9789027720986 / Angielski / Twarda / 275 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Were one to characterize the aims of this book ambitiously, it could be said to sketch the philosophical foundations or underpinnings of the scientific world view or, better, of the scientific conception of the world. In any case, it develops a comprehensive philosophical view, one which takes science seri ously as the best method for getting to know the ontological aspects of the world. This view is a kind of scientific realism - causal internal realism, as it is dubbed in the book. This brand of realism is "tough" in matters of ontology but "soft" in matters of semantics and epistemology....

The Prism of Science: The Israel Colloquium: Studies in History, Philosophy, and Sociology of Science Volume 2

This is the second volume of Proceedings of the Israel Colloquium for the History, Philosophy and Sociology of Science. At the time that this preface is being written, the fourth annual series of lectures within the framework of the Israel Colloquium is already behind us and the fifth is underway.

The Israel Colloquium has, I believe, struck roots in the Israeli scientific and intellectual life, while drawing on the...

As for logic and mathematics, the decisive works of Frege, Russell, and White- head suggested two conclusions: first, that it was possible to construct mathematics on the basis of logic (logicism), and secondly, that logical propositions had an irrevocably analytic status. But within the frame- work of logicism, the status of logical propositions is passed on to mathematical ones, and...

Probability and Causality: Essays in Honor of Wesley C. Salmon
ISBN: 9789027726070 / Angielski / Twarda / 362 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The contributions to this special collection concern issues and problems discussed in or related to the work of Wesley C. Salmon.

During a time of increasing preoccupation with historical and sociological approaches to under standing science (which characterize...

Science in Reflection: The Israel Colloquium: Studies in History, Philosophy, and Sociology of Science Volume 3
ISBN: 9789027727121 / Angielski / Twarda / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Israel Colloquium for the History, Philosophy and Sociology of Science presents before you its third volume of proceedings. The philosophy section of the volume has three main foci: the scientific explanation (Hempel and Ben-Menachem, Elster and Dascal); realism in science (Cohen and Zemach) and its implications for the problem of universals (Armstrong and Bar-Elli); and the question of demarcation: the dividing line between science and philosophy (KrUger), as well as the cognitive limits of science (Stent). There is no neat separation in this volume between essays on the history of...

Science in Culture : Translated from the Polish by Hugh McDonald
ISBN: 9789042021365 / Angielski / Miękka / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book tries to uncover science's discoverer and explain why the conception of science has been changing during the centuries, and why science can be beneficial and dangerous for humanity. Far from being hermetic, this research can be interesting for all who want to understand deeper what really conditions the place of science in culture. "Piotr Jaroszynski's Science in Culture is a superbly scholarly philosophical analysis of the place and role of science in Western culture from the ancient Greeks to the present. An exemplar of the way to do philosophy, it deserves to become a classic."...
