如果以“系统介绍科学哲学的研究体系、历史进展、学派观点”的高度来作为要求,这本书肯定是不行的,毕竟只有几十页。但是作为通识读本,这本书是非常成功的,适合大二以上水平的非哲学专业人士阅读。 书中介绍了科学哲学中最最根本的一些问题,也提及了自然科学中一些分支问题...
评分我发现这本书讲述scientific reasoning 和explanation时,并没有告诉我们那些作为deduction premise的general law是如何被发现的?好比,在解释行星运动轨迹时,作者告诉我们这是由law of gravity推导(deduction)的一个结论。问题是,这个general law是如何被Newton发现的,...

评分花了三四个小时在旅行路上读的。 某种意义上,哲学的各种主义也是一种信仰,然而科学哲学却很奇妙,它其中的一部分部分恰恰是在破除对科学的信仰、与科学神教为敌。对科学的迷信被破除,甚至信任都少了三分,但对科学的爱却更深了。毕竟太多的宗教和主义都那么狂妄自负,其实不...
评分对科学最重要的两个字,不是相信科学,而是质疑科学。 我们对科学的理解,其实不太科学。科学不是理性的代名词,不是万无一失,科学不是…简单点说,科学有局限。科学,算是唯心主义的。 1.不是讲科学地认识世界吗,但事实是,认识世界是建立在“人类”的感官之上的,建立在人...

What is science? Is there a real difference between science and myth? Is science objective? Can science explain everything? This Very Short Introduction provides a concise overview of the main themes of contemporary philosophy of science. Beginning with a short history of science to set the scene, Samir Okasha goes on to investigate the nature of scientific reasoning, scientific explanation, revolutions in science, and theories such as realism and anti-realism. He also looks at philosophical issues in particular sciences, including the problem of classification in biology, and the nature of space and time in physics. The final chapter touches on the conflicts between science and religion, and explores whether science is ultimately a good thing.
科学家的地位颇似婆罗门——知识和真理的垄断者,被贴上科学标签的事物都招来盲目崇拜。有何不可?科学是最直接的现世利益提供者,“信科学,得至乐”的概念深得人心一点都不奇怪。但是,科学家掌握的知识是否真正反映了客观现实?追随者出于私欲的深信不疑跟科学强调的价值中立(value-free)是否冲突?科学探索方法本身局限性能否引领人走向真理?这些问题,哲学家更有发言权。有哲学家对人类知识下过最狠的诅咒“认识永远是有条件的,是受有限之经验制约的,如果理性把相对的、有限的经验绝对化,自以为已经把握了整体、全部或无限,就会陷入一种假象。”某种意义上,哲学是科学崇拜狂潮中最后的清明和良心。
评分With an enriched overall review of the history of science and philosophy of science, the book written in easily-comprehensible English is recommended to both academic and layman readers, although I find the author's critique of Popper is weak and unconvincing and his putting economy and sociology into the category of science is highly questionable
评分concise and covers interesting and inspiring topics.
评分What is science? Do we have faith in the inferences that science uses to draw conclusions? What is the interpretation of probability? What exactly is science explanation, based on covering law or causality? Is scientific knowledge limited by our powers of observation?
评分通勤读得通体舒畅
