Beschreibung

Any serious student attempting to better understand the nature, methods and justification of science will value the third edition of this popular text. Weaving together lucid explanations and clear analyses, the volume is a much-used, thematically oriented introduction to the philosophy of science. Called the "industry standard" and "essential reading" by the journal, Teaching Philosophy, the book has been substantially revised and updated in its third edition to meet even better the needs of students and instructors and to reflect changes in the field.
