## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for my purpose
*by L***X on January 14, 2014*

This book was recommended as essential reading to accompany The Teaching Company's course "Philosophy of Science". It covered many of the issues presented in the course. The book is an introduction to the current issues. The arguments are well thought out and presented clearly. It appears that there is no 'Look inside' feature so here is a peak at the high level contents1. Science and Pseudoscience2. Rationality, Objectivity, and Values in Science3. The Duhem-Quine thesis and Underdetermination4. Induction, Prediction, and Evidence5. Confirmation and Relevance: Bayesian Approaches6. Models of Explanation7. Laws of Nature8. Intertheoretic Reduction9. Empiricism and Scientific RealismI should also add that the book has an introduction and to each of the above sections. Each section is followed by a commentary of each article therein. Finally, the book has a glossary, name index, and subject index.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good book
*by J***E on October 5, 2015*

Great anthology and survey of significant works in the field of Phil of Sci. This book has inspired me to look into Thomas Kuhn's contributions to the field. Kuhn is a sloppy writer and easy to critique [as this book shows], however, he has some 'revolutionary' ideas [no pun intended] as to the nature of paradigm shift in the scientific community. The book gives bits of other great works from such people as Hemple, Laudan, and even Popper. Highly recommended if you are looking for a survey of works in the field of Philosophy of Science.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As advertised.
*by W***M on February 27, 2016*

Bought as a textbook for my son. As advertised, great condition and the price was right.
