1.科学究竟是什么?科学家们不断感受、接触、总结、分析,探索了许久。 2.归纳主义科学观:以事实为基础,符合事实就留下,不符合事实就抛弃,归纳事实总结成理论,就是科学。 3.反驳:人类认知有限、观察工具效力有限等等原因,观察出来的“事实”可能是错的。一旦“事实”错...
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...

评分比较简单的科学哲学书籍,读的深入的话还是有所收获的,前几章非常清晰,后面批判归纳之后有些不如之前简明,可能因为问题也更加复杂了,或许由于出版时间关系本书只说道费耶阿本德,对于劳丹,邦格等没有叙述。
