Special Sciences and the Unity of Science de Olga Pombo

Special Sciences and the Unity of Science: Logic, Epistemology, and the Unity of Science, cartea 24

Editat de Olga Pombo, Juan Manuel Torres, John Symons, Shahid Rahman
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 apr 2014
Science is a dynamic process in which the assimilation of new phenomena, perspectives, and hypotheses into the scientific corpus takes place slowly. The apparent disunity of the sciences is the unavoidable consequence of this gradual integration process. Some thinkers label this dynamical circumstance a ‘crisis’. However, a retrospective view of the practical results of the scientific enterprise and of science itself, grants us a clear view of the unity of the human knowledge seeking enterprise. This book provides many arguments, case studies and examples in favor of the unity of science. These contributions touch upon various scientific perspectives and disciplines such as: Physics, Computer Science, Biology, Neuroscience, Cognitive Psychology, and Economics.

Recenzii

From the reviews:
“The volume at hand … covers a wide range of special sciences from astronomy and physics to Freudian theory and the cultural sciences. … essays collected in this volume are of interest to philosophers working in these areas. The approach taken in this book fits within the broader context of bringing fresh ideas to an old debate. … The papers contain an interesting balance between scientific depth and philosophical speculation on how the unity of the sciences might work in some actual cases … .” (Hinne Hettema, Philosophy in Review, Vol. XXXIII (4), 2013)

Caracteristici

Unique work on the tension between unity and specialization in science Provocative questions to test the hypothesis of science unification from a interdisciplinary perspective. For example: is Evolutionary Biology part of Computer Science? Offers a set of case-studies in favour of the Unity of Science
