具体描述
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.

评分如果我告诉你，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...
评分 评分 评分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...
