Scientific Philosophy

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the foundational aspects of philosophy relevant to science, this textbook emphasizes tools for semantic analysis, ontology, epistemology, and ethics in a clear, non-historical manner. Divided into two parts, it first outlines general theories before applying them to specific scientific challenges, such as quantum mechanics and the nature of mathematics. It explores fundamental questions about meaning, truth, and the limits of science, promoting a flexible, scientific approach to philosophy that encourages ongoing revision and relevance for students and researchers in both fields.
