Riassunto:

A vivid and comprehensive picture of the current state of research in all directions of logic and philosophy of science. This text presents a wide combination of papers containing relevant technical results in the foundations of science and papers devoted to conceptual analyses, deeply rooted in advanced 1990s research. The volume should be useful both for specialists in foundational questions and scholars interested in general epistemology.
