Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Historical sciences like paleontology and archaeology have uncovered unimagined, remarkable and mysterious worlds in the deep past. How should we understand the success of these sciences What is the relationship between knowledge and history In Scientific Knowledge and the Deep Past: History Matters, Adrian Currie examines recent paleontological work on the great changes that occurred during the Cretaceous period - the emergence of flowering plants, the splitting of the mega-continent Gondwana, and the eventual fall of the dinosaurs - to analyse the knowledge of historical scientists, and to reflect upon the nature of history.

Neuware - How do we understand the past when the past is weird: populated by different creatures and different environments, playing by different rules In The Science of Lost Worlds, Adrian Mitchell Currie and the fantastical Prof. Ichthy explore the epistemology of the historical sciences. They show how paleontologists creatively adopt perspectives that link the unfamiliar past with the familiar present through a variety of interlocking, iterative strategies that combine imagination and hard science to discover lost worlds. Considering science, art, and the materiality of paleontological practice, Currie develops an artifactualist account of this scientific imagination. They explore the metaphysical upshots of paleontological practice, the deeply modal nature of paleontological knowledge, and how the science of the deep past is about deep possibility. Currie compares our knowledge of the past to our knowledge of the future, arguing that the peculiarity of the future profoundly limits our capacity to know it. The Science of Lost Worlds is an exploration of palaeontological practice and reasoning that reflects and amplifies the ability of the deep past to generate wonder.…
