Beschreibung:
Craig Dilworth, born and raised in Canada, received his PhD in Sweden in 1981. He is presently Reader in Theoretical Philosophy at Uppsala University. While he is fundamentally a philosopher, Dilworth is at the same time a true generalist. He has been engaged in a wide variety of environmental projects on the local level, while at the same time developing his intellectual interests in the philosophy of science, human ecology, theoretical physics, theoretical biology, and the social sciences. He is the author of two major works in the philosophy of science, Scientific Progress and The Metaphysics of Science, and an earlier book in environmental science, Sustainable Development and Decision Making. He has spent the past 15 years researching the present book.
Title is also available as part of a set: Set: Scientific Progress, 4th Ed. / The Metaphysics of Science, 2nd Ed. (978-1-4020-9907-6)
Now, for the first time, Dilworth's complete philosophy of science in paperback
Dilworth's complete philosophy of science, including his Perspectivist conception and his metaphysics of science, now available at a reduced price!
Dilworth is arguably the most original of today's philosophers of science. In "Scientific Progress" he develops the Perspectivist conception of science, in which the incommensurability claims of Thomas Kuhn and Paul Feyerabend are met without resorting to relativism. In "The Metaphysics of Science" a completely new metaphysical approach to science is provided that avoids the pitfalls of Kant's treatment.
