具體描述
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.

讀後感
否定实证主义（归纳逻辑）及否证主义的论证很精彩。库恩和拉卡托斯的理论，在我看来就像是以太，毫无用处，完全可以用奥卡姆剃刀给他刮的干干净净（什么都想说明，而又什么也讲不清）。无政府主义我很喜欢，但是作者有过度演绎无政府主义，甚至有些扭曲该理论的嫌疑（有太多矛...
評分前面几章算是勉强知道作者在说什么，后面我基本完全看不懂了:)留待再思考几年再重新拿起这本书吧。 在现代，科学受到高度尊崇。因为“科学的特别之处是它从事实中推导出来，而不是根据个人的意见。”但这句话只有在高度限定的条件下才能得到认可。具体而言，大多数人认为科学...
評分应该说社科院哲学所邱仁宗先生是科学哲学界的老前辈了。不过，商务印书馆2007年出版、鲁旭东翻译的该书的另一中译本不论是对原文的理解上还是文字的通顺、易读上都比邱译要好。
評分比较简单的科学哲学书籍，读的深入的话还是有所收获的，前几章非常清晰，后面批判归纳之后有些不如之前简明，可能因为问题也更加复杂了，或许由于出版时间关系本书只说道费耶阿本德，对于劳丹，邦格等没有叙述。
評分科学究竟是什么？当我们提出这个问题的时候，就像一个仰望星空的小孩。书里没有给出确切的答案，只是复述并分析了很多有代表性的回答。在我看来，科学就像星空、“道”一样，无法用“A是B”这种直接的方式描述。
