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.
应该说社科院哲学所邱仁宗先生是科学哲学界的老前辈了。不过,商务印书馆2007年出版、鲁旭东翻译的该书的另一中译本不论是对原文的理解上还是文字的通顺、易读上都比邱译要好。
評分如果我告诉你,自由落体定理按照一般的想法,在逻辑上正确的可能性是零,你会怎么想? 普遍的观点是:因为见到任何东西都在下落时都具有几乎相同的运动性质,牛顿通过实验排除其他干扰因素(比如空气阻力等等),归纳出自由落体定律,并进一步算出自由落体常数,也就是g=9.8 N...
評分第一眼看到这本书,就想翻一翻。翻开来看了下目录,又看了几页,就被内容迷住了。对科学的本质做了详细的论述,对于在学术道路上遇到深层次的哲学问题的学生有很好的帮助,是一本不错的科学哲学书籍,可以反复读出不同的味道,并找到自己的支持与反对。
評分1.科学究竟是什么?科学家们不断感受、接触、总结、分析,探索了许久。 2.归纳主义科学观:以事实为基础,符合事实就留下,不符合事实就抛弃,归纳事实总结成理论,就是科学。 3.反驳:人类认知有限、观察工具效力有限等等原因,观察出来的“事实”可能是错的。一旦“事实”错...
評分科学哲学是对科学活动的反思。科学依赖于归纳,然而归纳虽然是实用的但是是不可靠的。然后有了波普尔的证伪主义,库恩的范式革命,拉卡托斯的研究纲领等等流派。 证伪主义的思路其实很简单,也很重要,是判定科学性的一个判据。就是看理论是否可能提出反例来,就是不能证伪的...
