Von der hinteren Coverseite
Philosophies of the Sciences: A Guide is a collection of twelve original essays by leading philosophers associated with various scientific disciplines. Recognizing that much current research within the philosophy of science takes place through the lens of one particular science, this volume argues that the various scientific fields and investigations have much that they can learn from one another. Rather than discussing each science in isolation, they are presented here collectively to encourage a greater understanding of their associative theoretical foundations and a sharing of ideas.
Covering a wide range of scientific disciplines, contributors explore central debates in the areas of traditional philosophy of science, such as philosophy of physics and of biology, and also fields outside of the traditional mainstream, such as philosophies of psychology, sociology, chemistry, economics, and other individual sciences. An introductory essay covering philosophy of science more generally is included as a background to the subject; the book then moves beyond general methodological issues to offer a new and unique approach to the study and thought of philosophy of science. This breadth of topics and interdisciplinary coverage make this a valuable text for courses at the undergraduate or graduate level and for researchers in philosophy and related fields.
