The Frontiers of Theory Development in Physics: A Methodological Study in its Dynamical Complexity
ISBN: 9781492344186 / Angielski / Miękka / 334 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book addresses the question of how to articulate the scientific framework of problem and theory development, taken in its dynamic complexity, at the active frontiers of physics. The traditional explications of scientific progress and growth of knowledge simply do not address this question. In this book, professors Pandit and Dosch explain how dynamic core-context building from within physics itself shapes the structure of scientific reasoning and drives the internal development of physics. The authors explain theory development and unification by arguing that the methodology and...

Personal Knowledge: Towards A Post-Critical Philosophy
ISBN: 9781614275374 / Angielski / Miękka / 444 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 2013 Reprint of 1962 American Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This edition reprints the text from the 1962 Revised Edition originally published by The University of Chicago Press. In this classic text Polanyi argued that the scientist is not a detached observer in the world of research: rather the scientist's personal participation in his knowledge, both in its discovery and its validation, is an indispensable part of science itself. Even in the exact sciences knowing is an art, in which the skill of the knower, guided by his...

The Philosophy of the Inductive Sciences: Volume 1: Founded Upon Their History
ISBN: 9781108064026 / Angielski / Miękka / 648 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. First published in 1840, this two-volume treatise by Cambridge polymath William Whewell (1794 1886) remains significant in the philosophy of science. The work was intended as the 'moral' to his three-volume History of the Inductive Sciences (1837), which is also reissued in this series. Building on philosophical foundations laid by Immanuel Kant and Francis Bacon, Whewell opens with the aphorism 'Man is the Interpreter of Nature, Science the right interpretation'. Volume 1 contains the majority of Whewell's section on 'ideas', in which he investigates the philosophy underlying a range of...

The Future of Prediction
ISBN: 9781475217407 / Angielski / Miękka / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How the mind, by predicting the future, gives rise to intelligence, ethics, and consciousness. Those who have claimed to be able to predict the future have been around since the dawn of human society. Do they have 'special abilities'? If we are talking about "spiritualists," perhaps not. But what about those who use modern tools such as computers; we may call them 'analysts' or 'under-writers' ... do they have special abilities? In either case, do their brains have any unusual capabilities that give them these special abilities? Is there a connection between prediction and the sources of...

The Cognitive Structure of Scientific Revolutions
ISBN: 9781107637238 / Angielski / Miękka / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Thomas Kuhn's Structure of Scientific Revolutions became the most widely read book about science in the twentieth century. His terms 'paradigm' and 'scientific revolution' entered everyday speech, but they remain controversial. In the second half of the twentieth century, the new field of cognitive science combined empirical psychology, computer science, and neuroscience. In this book, the theories of concepts developed by cognitive scientists are used to evaluate and extend Kuhn's most influential ideas. Based on case studies of the Copernican revolution, the discovery of nuclear fission,...

The Invention of Physical Science: Intersections of Mathematics, Theology and Natural Philosophy Since the Seventeenth Century Essays in Honor of Erwi
ISBN: 9789401050975 / Angielski / Miękka / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Modern physical science is constituted by specialized scientific fields rooted in experimental laboratory work and in rational and mathematical representations. Contemporary scientific explanation is rigorously differentiated from religious interpretation, although, to be sure, scientists sometimes do the philosophical work of interpreting the metaphysics of space, time, and matter. However, it is rare that either theologians or philosophers convincingly claim that they are doing the scientific work of physical scientists and mathematicians.

Felix Kaufmann's Theory and Method in the Social Sciences
ISBN: 9783319028446 / Angielski / Twarda / 357 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume contains the English translation of Felix Kaufmann's (1895-1945) main work Methodenlehre der Sozialwissenschaften (1936). In this book, Kaufmann develops a general theory of knowledge of the social sciences in his role as a cross-border commuter between Husserl's phenomenology, Kelsen's pure theory of law and the logical positivism of the Vienna Circle. This multilayered inquiry connects the value-oriented reflections of a general philosophy of science with the specificity of the methods and theories of the social sciences, as opposed to abstract natural science and psychology....

Philosophie Asiatique/Asian Philosophy
ISBN: 9789401051071 / Angielski / Miękka / 411 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The present publication is a continuation of two earlier series of chronicles, Philosophy in the Mid-Century (Firenze 1958/59) and Contemporary Philosophy (Firenze 1968), edited by Raymond Klibansky. As with the earlier series the present surveys purport to give a survey of significant trends in contemporary philosophical discussion. The need for such surveys has, I believe, increased rather than decreased over the last years. The philosophical scene appears, for various reasons, rather more complex than ever before. The continuing process of specialization in most branches, the emergence of...

Physics, Philosophy and Psychoanalysis: Essays in Honor of Adolf Grünbaum

To celebrate Adolf Griinbaum's sixtieth birthday by offering him this bouquet of essays written for this purpose was the happy task of an autonomous Editorial Committee: Wesley C. Salmon, Nicholas Rescher, Larry Laudan, Carl G. Hempel, and Robert S. Cohen. To present the book within the Boston Studies in the Philosophy of Science was altogether fitting and natural, for Griinbaum has' been friend and supporter of philosophy of science at Boston University for twenty-five years, and unofficial godfather to the Boston Colloquium. To regret that we could not include contributions from all his...

Method, Model and Matter
ISBN: 9789401025218 / Angielski / Miękka / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This collection of essays deals with three clusters of problems in the philo sophy of science: scientific method, conceptual models, and ontological underpinnings. The disjointedness of topics is more apparent than real, since the whole book is concerned with the scientific knowledge of fact. Now, the aim of factual knowledge is the conceptual grasping of being, and this understanding is provided by theories of whatever there may be. If the theories are testable and specific, such as a theory of a particular chemical reaction, then they are often called 'theoretical models' and clas sed as...

Zygmunt Zawirski: His Life and Work: with Selected Writings on Time, Logic and the Methodology of Science
ISBN: 9789401043298 / Angielski / Miękka / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Among the extraordinary Polish philosophers of the past one hundred years, Zygmunt Zawirski deserves to be given particular attention for his fusion of analytic and historical scholarship. Strikingly versatile, and con- tributing original work in all his fields of competence, Zawirski thought through issues in the philosophical aspects of relativity theory, on the claims of intuitionalistic foundations of mathematics, on the nature and usefulness of many-value Logics, and on the calculus of probability, on the axiomatic method in science and in the philosophy of science, on the genesis and...

Bas Van Fraassen's Approach to Representation and Models in Science
ISBN: 9789400778375 / Angielski / Twarda / 233 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book analyzes Bas van Fraassen s characterization of representation and models in science. In this regard, it presents the philosophical coordinates of his approach and pays attention to his structural empiricism as a framework for his views on scientific representations and models. These are developed here through two new contributions made by van Fraassen. In addition, there are analyses of the relation between models and reality in his approach, where the complexity of this conception is considered in detail. Furthermore, there is an examination of scientific explanation and... This book analyzes Bas van Fraassen s characterization of representation and models in science.

Mexican Studies in the History and Philosophy of Science
ISBN: 9789401065351 / Angielski / Miękka / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For a North American seeking to know the Mexican mind, and especially the sciences today and in their recent development, a great light of genius is to be found in Mexico City in the late 17th century. Tbe genius is that of one who surely may be counted as the first Mexican philosopher of nature, a nun of the Order of Saint Jerome: Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz. Sor Juana must speak for herself, from her penetrating exercise of an independent mind within a political and religious formation which denigrated women and circumscribed reason itself. To understand this world of ours, to join in an...

Exact Philosophy: Problems, Tools, and Goals
ISBN: 9789401025188 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The papers that follow were read and discussed at the first Symposium on Exact Philosophy. This conference was held at Montreal on November 4th and 5th, 1971, to celebrate the sesquicentennial of McGill University and establish the Society for Exact Philosophy. The expression 'exact philosophy' is taken to signify mathematical phi losophy, i.e., philosophy done with the explicit help of mathematical logic and mathematics. So far the expression denotes an attitude rather than a fully blown discipline: it intends to convey the intention to try and pro ceed in as exact a manner as we can in...

Ingardeniana: A Spectrum of Specialised Studies Establishing the Field of Research
ISBN: 9789401014458 / Angielski / Miękka / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Studies on different aspects of Roman Ingarden's Philosophy have been published during the last thirty years. They were meant partly to in vestigate the contribution of that thinker to phenomenological philoso phy, which was then dominant in WestemEurope, partly to arouse interest in a philosopher who was, at that time, practically unknown. The publication by the present editor of For Roman Ingarden: Nine Essays in Phenomenology, a Festschrift for his 65th birthday, marked the beginning of an interest in his thought. Subsequently, Ingarden has lectured abroad, and a number of his hitherto...
