About this book

Your handy, cross-referenced guide to how philosophy and science interact

Philosophy of science has always been an integral part of philosophy, since the beginning of the 20th century it has developed its own structure and its fair share of technical vocabulary and problems.

Philosophy of Science A–Z gives concise, accurate and illuminating accounts of key positions, concepts, arguments and figures in the philosophy of science. It aids understanding of current debates, explains their historical development and connects them with broader philosophical issues. It presupposes little prior knowledge of philosophy of science and is equally useful to the beginner, the more advanced student and the general reader. You will find illuminating explanations, careful analysis, relevant examples, open problems and precise arguments. Philosophy of science is a flourishing discipline and Philosophy of Science A–Z is a practical and imaginative way into and through it.
