PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE - CONTEMPORARY READINGS

'Philosophy of Science: Contemporary Readings' is a comprehensive anthology that draws together leading philosophers writing on the major themes in the philosophy of science. Sections are: Science and Philosophy; Explanation; Causation and Laws; Scientific Theories and Conceptual Change; Scientific Realism; Testing and Confirmation of Theories; and Science in Context. Each section is prefaced by an introductory essay by the editors. The readings are designed to complement Philosophy of Science: AContemporary Introduction (Routledge 2000), though the anthology can also be used as a stand-alone volume.
