Considering the bases, arguments and conclusions of the four main movements - Logical Reconstructionism, Descriptivism, Normative Naturalism and Foundationalism - John Losee explores how philosophy has both shaped and expanded our understanding of science.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The volume features major figures of twentieth century science, and engages with the work of previous philosophers of science, including Norman Campbell, Rudolf Carnap, Ernest Nagel, Karl Popper, Richard Dawkins, and John Worrall. In particular, \u003ci\u003eThe Golden Age of Philosophy of Science, 1945 to 2000\u003c\/i\u003e aims to answer the following questions: How should competing philosophies of science be evaluated? Should philosophy of science be a prescriptive discipline? Can philosophy of science achieve normative status without designating trans-historical evaluative principles? And finally, how can understanding the history of science aid us in analyzing the philosophy of science? In answering these questions, this book shows us why we understand science the way we do.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Golden Age of Philosophy of Science 1945 to 2000\u003c\/i\u003eis essential reading for students and researchers working in the history and philosophy of science.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Losee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350169137\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350169135\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/25\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.68d","brand":"John Losee","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44064355320063,"sku":"9781350169135","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_514e23fc-cd98-4289-87bc-651011cf682a.jpg?v=1685394991","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-golden-age-of-philosophy-john-losee-9781350169135","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
