Probability and Causality: Essays in Honor of Wesley C. Salmon
ISBN: 9781556080524 / Angielski / Miękka / 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. Salmon has long been noted for his important work in the philosophy of science, which has included research on the interpretation of probability, the nature of explanation, the character of reasoning, the justification of induction, the structure of space/time and the paradoxes of Zeno, to mention only some of the most prominent. During a time of increasing preoccupation with historical and sociological approaches to under standing science (which characterize...

Scientific Explanation and the Causal Structure of the World
ISBN: 9780691101705 / Angielski / Miękka / 321 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The philosophical theory of scientific explanation proposed here involves a radically new treatment of causality that accords with the pervasively statistical character of contemporary science. Wesley C. Salmon describes three fundamental conceptions of scientific explanation--the epistemic, modal, and ontic. He argues that the prevailing view (a version of the epistemic conception) is untenable and that the modal conception is scientifically out-dated. Significantly revising aspects of his earlier work, he defends a causal/mechanical theory that is a version of the ontic...

A Tale of Two Sciences: Memoirs of a Dissident Scientist
ISBN: 9780984261406 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A TALE OF TWO SCIENCES: Memoirs of a Dissident Scientist is one scientist's reflection on a successful sixty-year career. Professor Sturrock has trod an unusual path, combining a variety of innovative research in mainstream science with another variety of studies well outside the mainstream. Although most scientists look with a jaundiced eye on topics such as parapsychology and UFO research, he views them simply as more grist for the scientific mill, regarding topics outside the mainstream as major challenges rather than minor annoyances best swept under the rug. A Tale of Two Sciences has...

Symmetry and the end of probability
ISBN: 9781460932407 / Angielski / Miękka / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Despite strong objections from many scientists since the time of its conception, the Probability theory has been able to maintain its precarious but dominant existence for three centuries simply because no one could pinpoint its logical weaknesses; but this may soon change. Building on recent advances in computing science and complexity theory, Dr. Tran was able to identify a fatal loophole in the probabilistic proof for the Law of Large Number. With the discovery that the principle of symmetry is a much more complete explanation for the Law of Large Number, suddenly it becomes clear that...

The Trial of Darwin's God: Randomness: Scientific Truth or Religious Doctrine?
ISBN: 9781439255568 / Angielski / Miękka / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Science has discovered confirmable empirical evidence that clearly shows evolution by natural selection to be true. The evolution controversy is now limited to the mechanism through which nature selects - purposefulness or randomness. Our Constitution bans religion from being taught in public school. The test for determining what may be taught in school as non-religious instruction is confirmable scientific evidence. Our Courts have held that scientific evidence is lacking for the mechanism of purposeful intelligent design, and it has been banned from science class as religious doctrine. What...

The Accidental God Fallacy: A Primer on the Deception of Scientific Athiesm
ISBN: 9781439201275 / Angielski / Miękka / 412 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over 90% of the most brilliant scientists in America today believe in the ultimate reality of accident. They have great faith that the power of random chance and mutation has produced all the wonders of our natural universe and living world. Their religion is scientific atheism. Wielding the power of their scientific authority, our most elite scientists proclaim that the discoveries of science 'prove' that their religious belief is the 'scientific truth' and must be taught in the science classes of our public schools. They are entitled to their religious belief, but their claim that such a...

Darwin's Pharmacy: Sex, Plants, and the Evolution of the Noosphere
ISBN: 9780295990941 / Angielski / Twarda / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Are humans unwitting partners in evolution with psychedelic plants? Darwin's Pharmacy shows they are by weaving the evolutionary theory of sexual selection and the study of rhetoric together with the science and literature of psychedelic drugs. Long suppressed as components of the human tool kit, psychedelic plants can be usefully modeled as "eloquence adjuncts" that intensify a crucial component of sexual selection in humans: discourse. Psychedelic plants seduce us to interact with them, building an ongoing interdependence: rhetoric as evolutionary mechanism. In doing so, they...

Erwin Schradinger's World View: The Dynamics of Knowledge and Reality
ISBN: 9780792316947 / Angielski / Twarda / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Erwin Schroedinger has been described as one of the greatest figures of theoretical physics, but there is another side to the man: not only did his work revolutionize physics, it also radically changed the foundations of our modern world-view, modern biology, philosophy of science, philosophy of the mind, and epistemology.

The Context of Explanation
ISBN: 9780792321538 / Angielski / Twarda / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Martin Bunzl considers the prospects for a general and comprehensive account of explanation, given the variety of interests that prompt explanations in science. Bunzl argues that any successful account of explanation must deal with two very different contexts - one static and one dynamic. Traditionally, theories of explanation have been built for the former of these two contexts. That is to say, they are designed to show how it is that a finished body of scientific knowledge can be put to explanatory use. Real explanation also occurs in a dynamical context in which questions are asked and...

Einstein Meets Magritte: An Interdisciplinary Reflection presents insights of the renowned key speakers of the interdisciplinary Einstein meets Magritte conference (1995, Brussels Free University). The contributions elaborate on fundamental questions of science, with regard to the contemporary world, and push beyond the borders of traditional approaches.

ISBN: 9780792317616 / Angielski / Twarda / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Foundational questions in logic, mathematics, computer science and physics are constant sources of epistemological debate in contemporary philosophy. To what extent is the transfinite part of mathematics completely trustworthy? Why is there a general malaise concerning the logical approach to the foundations of mathematics? What is the role of symmetry in physics? Is it possible to build a coherent worldwiew compatible with a macro-objectivistic position and based on the quantum picture of the world? What account can be given of opinion change in the light of new evidence?

Science and Modernity: Toward an Integral Theory of Science
ISBN: 9781402002472 / Angielski / Miękka / 302 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Science is a multifaceted, natural and historical phenomenon. It consists of five elements, that is, it happens in five distinct media: biological, linguistic, technological, social, and historical. None of these alone provides an indubitable basis for the truth of scientific knowledge, but combined together they compose a solid ground for our trust in its reliability. The composition, however, is uniquely related to our modern mode of living. Science did not exist before modernity, and it will cease to exist in this form if our way of life should change. The book presents a thorough...
