| Description: |
Presents a well-founded conception of modern science according to which its core consists of particular metaphysical principles. This book explains the principle of induction, the nature of scientific knowledge and scientific reduction. |
| Synopsis: |
This book provides a clear, well-founded conception of modern science. The views advanced are not only novel, but they constitute an alternative that is superior to both the empiric-analytic and the sociology of knowledge approaches that are prevalent today. Furthermore, the book provides a resolution of the long-standing debate between empiricism and realism, and it gives a coherent view that transcends the boundaries of the professional philosophy of science. |
