Is Science Progressive?

Více o knize

Focusing on the philosophical exploration of truthlikeness and scientific progress, this collection of essays examines the relationship between scientific advancement and the increasing verisimilitude of its findings. Written between 1975 and 1983, the essays offer less formal insights compared to more technical works, contributing to the defense of critical scientific realism. The first chapter serves as an introductory piece on the nature of science, while the second is a revised translation of an inaugural lecture, providing foundational context for the discussions that follow.
