The Theory of Knowledge and the Rise of Modern Science

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A sophisticated approach to epistemology with an emphasis on the interactions between Science and Philosophy from the seventeenth century to the twenty-first. Using the classic debate between the empiricist and rationalist traditions as a framework, Clare Hay follows the developments of the theory of knowledge up to the twentieth century, and the intersection points of epistemology with other branches of philosophy are also considered. The book's unique strength lies in the correlation between the developments of philosophical thought and the rise of modern science. As the author suggests, 'studying philosophy is one of the most extraordinary intellectual journeys' and this comprehensive yet accessible book will provide the useful signposts for both the student and general reader. Dr Clare Hay has an interest in the Philosophy of Logic and Language, the History of Modern Philosophy and the History and Philosophy of Science. She is the author of 'The Theory of Knowledge: A Coursebook' and has recently produced a new edition of Hirschberger's 'Short History of Western Philosophy'. Artikel-Nr. 9780718830892
