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.

評分科学哲学是对科学活动的反思。科学依赖于归纳，然而归纳虽然是实用的但是是不可靠的。然后有了波普尔的证伪主义，库恩的范式革命，拉卡托斯的研究纲领等等流派。 证伪主义的思路其实很简单，也很重要，是判定科学性的一个判据。就是看理论是否可能提出反例来，就是不能证伪的...
評分如果我告诉你，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...
評分 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...
