D Reidel Pub Co. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1985. Hardcover. 9027715513 . Light scratching to dust jacket, also sunning to jacket spine. Book has slight bump at top of spine. ; "With the movement away from logical positivism over the past three decades, the problem of the nature of scientific change has moved to the forefront of the philosophy of science....[this] book examines a wide variety of historical and contemporary cases for mathematics, physics, astronomy, chemistry and biology. But the essays go well beyond philosophy of science, offering analyses and criticisms of, and alternatives to, major traditional and contemporary philosophical doctrines having to do with the goals, potentialities and limits of human knowledge; empiricism versus rationalism as a theory of knowledge; arguments of skepticism and relativism; the development and justification of normative principles; the nature, role and development of descriptive and theoretical language in Man's dealing with nature; and the aims and methods of philosophy itself..."; 8vo; 438 pp .

An impressive characteristic of Dudley Shapere's studies in the philosophy of the sciences has been his dogged reasonableness. He sorts things out, with logical care and mastery of the materials, and with an epistemological curiosity for the historical happenings which is both critical and respectful.

An impressive characteristic of Dudley Shapere's studies in the philosophy of the sciences has been his dogged reasonableness. He sorts things out, with logical care and mastery of the materials, and with an epistemological curiosity for the historical happenings which is both critical and respectful. Science changes, and the philosopher had better not link philosophical standards too tightly to either the latest orthodox or the provocative up- start in scientific fashions; and yet, as critic, the philosopher must not only master the sciences but also explicate their meanings, not those of a cognitive never-never land. Neither dreamer nor pedant, Professor Shapere has been able to practice the modern empiricist's exercises with the sober and stimulat- ing results shown in this volume: he sees that he can be faithful to philosoph- ical analysis, engage in the boldest 'rational reconstruction' of theories and experimental measurements, and faithful too, empirically faithful we may say, to both the direct super-highways and the winding pathways of conceptual evolutions and metaphysical revolutions. Not least, Shapere listens! To Einstein and Calileo of course, but to the workings of the engineers and the scientific apprentices too, and to the various philosophers, now and of old, who have also worked to make sense of what has been learned and how that has happened and where we might go wrong.Taal: Engels;Afmetingen: 26x235x155 mm;Gewicht: 862,00 gram;Verschijningsdatum: november 1983;Druk: 1;ISBN10: 9027715513;ISBN13: 9789027715517; Engelstalig | Hardcover | 1983.
