Product Description

Review

'A first-rate, challenging text that emphasizes the philosophy in the philosophy of science. Rosenberg offers a superb introduction to the epistemological and metaphysical issues at stake in modern science.' - Professor Martin Curd, Purdue University, Indiana

'Philosophy students will like the way the issues in philosophy of science are connected to the basic concerns of epistemology and philosophy of language.' - Professor Peter Kosso, Northern Arizona University

'An engaging and clearly written introduction to the philosophy of science ... I was especially pleased to see the discussions of probability, the semantic view of theories, and science studies.' - Peter Lipton, Cambridge University


Product Description

Identifies the philosophical problems that science raises through an examination of questions about its nature, methods and justification. A valuable introduction for science and philosophy students alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best introduction ever!, 9 Nov 2000
By A Customer
This is the best introductory textbook of the philosophy of science I've ever seen. It is clear and pedagogical, and does not presuppose any previous knowledge of the subject. The glossary is helpful, and the definitions of such familiar terms as theory and explanation can be found. Also, examples are taken from varieties of sciences (not only natural sciences or physics). I recommend this for students of both philosophy and science.
