Inhalt:
Six philosophical essays discuss: a realist view of science; critiquing a core tenet of positivism; the representational aspect of scientific theories and their isomorphic qualities; deconstructing ambiguities in inductive logic; common sense vs. the world view of science; the actuality of conceptual revolutions in the history of science vs. traditional philosophy on scientific theory-building
Anmerkung:
Revised version of 5 papers, originally presented at a workshop-conference at the Center for Philosophy of Science, the University of Pittsburgh, 1965. The sixth paper by Mary Hesse is based on a 1966 lecture which she gave in the center's annual series of public lectures
