This new edition of Chalmers's highly regarded and widely read work-translated into fifteen languages-is extensively rewritten and reorganized, reflecting the experience of the author, his colleagues, and correspondents in twenty years of teaching from the previous edition. Significant additions are new chapters on the Bayesian approach to science, the new experimentalism, the nature of scientific laws, and the realism/anti-realism debate. An ideal introduction to scientific method, Chalmers's work is both accessible to beginners and a valuable resource for advanced students and scholars.

评分比较简单的科学哲学书籍,读的深入的话还是有所收获的,前几章非常清晰,后面批判归纳之后有些不如之前简明,可能因为问题也更加复杂了,或许由于出版时间关系本书只说道费耶阿本德,对于劳丹,邦格等没有叙述。
评分理论概论写得好其实很难,需要作者对学科内有史以来各类观点的深入了解和客观评估,加上作者自身的理论体系,为此教材类书的独创性增色不少,避免了泛泛之谈。Chalmers从1976年编写第一版科学哲学教材开始,至1998已更新到第三版。在科学学科内部日益走向专家化细分化的大环境...
