The Cosmos of Science: Essays of Exploration (Pittsburgh-Konstanz Series in the Philosophy and History of Science)

When did science become a community activity? Does chaos mean the end of determinism? These are some of the questions asked in essays which cover the history of science, mathematics and physics, scientific methodology and action and rationality. The Cosmos of Science presents a cross section of the best work currently being done in history and philosophy of science, exploring fundamental questions in four major areas: history of science; foundations of mathematics and physics; induction and scientific methodology; and action and rationality. Together these essays from the Pittsburgh-Konstanz series reveal the coherence and order of the cosmos of science. Edited By John Earman And John D. Norton.
