Theodore E. Uehling | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

The 21 essays collected in this volume of ""Midwest Studies in Philosophy"" question and debate the primary assumptions of science. These are its conception of an orderly universe; its ability to define; and its ability to explain. The contributors approach these topics from varying perspectives, including the historic development of our understanding of the scientific enterprise; the controversy of opposing paradigms; and the challenges raised by quantum mechanics.
