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...

How much faith should we place in what scientists tell us? Is it possible for scientific knowledge to be fully "objective?" What, really, can be defined as science? In the second edition of this Very Short Introduction, Samir Okasha explores the main themes and theories of contemporary philosophy of science, and investigates fascinating, challenging questions such as these.
Starting at the very beginning, with a concise overview of the history of science, Okasha examines the nature of fundamental practices such as reasoning, causation, and explanation. Looking at scientific revolutions and the issue of scientific change, he asks whether there is a discernible pattern to the way scientific ideas change over time, and discusses realist versus anti-realist attitudes towards science. He finishes by considering science today, and the social and ethical philosophical questions surrounding modern science.

评分首先,此书已经有数篇更值得细品的精彩书评,无比推荐阅读;第二,我给五星评价的个人标准为颠覆现有知识体系,而由于我略知一点相关内容,所以最终给了四星,对于对科学哲学一无所知的读者,此书也许值得五星。此书对我的助益在于把过去完全零散的点梳理了一遍,其中一些持续困惑的问题被提到哲学层面进行了初步解释,并指明了未来可继续深挖的方向。在这个时代,虽然主流群体大多已向“科学”表示出各种好感,甚至以“科学”之名为标榜,但是可以毫不客气的说,如果你没有了解过科学哲学这个知识领域,那么任何与“科学”沾边的思想与行为都是应该被怀疑的,起码是建立在低端科学观之上。科学哲学是科学的元学科,它思考最为高大上的终极科学问题:什么是科学?不同理论如何比较?实验方法是否有极限?科学能否解释一切?等等。答案恐怕超乎你的想象。

评分非常推荐。无限感恩!
评分科学哲学课程的自学材料 不过就算读完了也不知道要写啥……老师上课也太飘了,对论文的要求又让人很难办(哭
