Sinopsis

Until about the middle of this century philosophers and scientists commonly held that science showed an accumulation of a body of objective knowledge. This view has been very widely challenged over recent years; but in this study Dr Jardine offers a defence. The discussion involves consideration of many controversial issues concerning truth in science, interpretation of past theories, and grounds of scientific method. The author writes with a careful appreciation of the complexities involved and argues for a distinctive point of view with skill and clarity.

Críticas

"A very good book: well-crafted, engaging, and thoughtful. Jardine employs historical examples with subtlety and insight, and in a way that illuminates the territory--even for those...mostly unfamiliar with it."--Mind"Offers a highly professional and erudite proposal for 'pragmatic theory of truth' that subsequently justifies scientific 'growth'....Engagingly written, clearly argued, and well documented...Highly recommended to college libraries and academic courses in the philosophy of science."--Choice
