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.

读后感
1 归纳主义 眼见为实 经验归纳的事实就是科学 （但事实不代表真相） 2 否证主义 可以校验是否正确的才是科学（但错了也许只是当时科学水平不够） 3 结构科学观 科学是围绕一个范式体系运作的（但太强调范式的重要性） 4 贝叶斯主义 科学不是绝对的东西 可以计算概率 对错都有可...
评分 评分这是我研究生期间导师开的书单的第一本，也是我读的第一本比较专业的书。但它很是好读，特别是前面部分，很是形象。想我以前是理科生，读这样书也不觉得晦涩，更能引领读者慢慢进行思考，可以说是一本值得推荐的科学哲学的入门读物。
