第一眼看到这本书,就想翻一翻。翻开来看了下目录,又看了几页,就被内容迷住了。对科学的本质做了详细的论述,对于在学术道路上遇到深层次的哲学问题的学生有很好的帮助,是一本不错的科学哲学书籍,可以反复读出不同的味道,并找到自己的支持与反对。

评分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...

评分题目是乱写的,看起来不会那么无趣 一、科学的边界问题 首先,我只是一个被物理系拒收,不是很情愿(但却很幸运的外打正着)地跑去学社会科学的家伙。所以我对科学、科学家和科学研究活动并没有什么发表意见的资格,在此我只能本着对科学精神的敬畏与向往描述下我感知到...

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.
