Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. ix, 184 pp. Original cloth. Near Fine, in dust jacket. Boston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science, 122. An inference may be defined as a passage of thought according to some method. In the theory of knowledge it is customary to disti…nguish deductive and non-deductive inferences. Deductive inferences are truth preserving, that is, the truth of the premises is preserved in the con clusion. As a result, the conclusion of a deductive inference is already 'contained' in the premises, although we may not know this fact until the inference is performed. Standard examples of deductive inferences are taken from logic and mathematics. Non-deductive inferences need not preserve truth, that is, 'thought may pass' from true premises to false conclusions. Such inferences can be expansive, or, ampliative in the sense that the performances of such inferences actually increases our putative knowledge. Standard non-deductive inferences do not really exist, but one may think of elementary inductive inferences in which conclusions regarding the future are drawn from knowledge of the past. Since the body of scientific knowledge is increasing, it is obvious that the method of science must allow non-deductive as well as deductive inferences. Indeed, the explosive growth of science in recent times points to a prominent role for the former. Philosophers of science have long tried to isolate and study the non-deductive inferences in science. The inevitability of such inferences one the one hand, juxtaposed with the poverty of all efforts to identify them, constitutes one of the major cognitive embarrassments of our time.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 451 pp. Original cloth. Near Fine, in dust jacket. Boston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science, volume 165. In three volumes, a distinguished group of scholars from a variety of disciplines in the natural and social sciences, the huma…nities and the arts contribute essays in honor of Robert S. Cohen, on the occasion of his 70th birthday. The range of the essays, as well as their originality, and their critical and historical depth, pay tribute to the extraordinary scope of Professor Cohen's intellectual interests, as a scientist-philosopher and a humanist, and also to his engagement in the world of social and political practice. Science, Mind and Art, Volume III of Essays in honor of Robert S. Cohen focuses on issues in contemporary epistemology, aesthetics, and philosophy of mind as well as on the relations of science and human values in ethical and religious thought. It also has important new work in contemporary metaphysics, as well as in the history of philosophy, and on questions of multiculturalism in science education.

Young Pages 411-439 In one of the three Festshrift volumes of Boston Studies in the Philosophy of Science dedicated to Bob Cohen on the occasion of his 70th birthday, Kostas Gavroglu and Marx Wartofsky aptly described him as "Philosopher, physicist, historical sociologist of science, critical social thinker, master teacher, writer of clarity and wit, genial critic, prolific editor, organizer extraordinary, effective administrator, serious student of religion, of art, of history, vivid speaker, great listener, ubiquitous world-traveler and conferencier . . . inexhaustible conversationalist, teller of jokes, saxophonist and clarinetist, indefatigable reader - all of these, and more, and at once, is Robert S. Cohen" To this list we could add, Marxist, humanist, political activist, global citizen, and world ambassador for the philosophy of science.

Near Fine, in dust jacket. Boston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science, vol. 17. Boris Kuznetsov was a scientist among humanists, a philoso…pher among scientists, a historian for those who look to the future, an optimist in an age of sadness. He was steeped in classical European culture, from earliest times to the latest avant-garde, and he roamed through the ages, an inveterate time-traveller, chatting and arguing with Aristotle and Descartes, Heine and Dante, among many others. Kuznetsov was also, in his intelligent and thoughtful way, a Marxist scholar and a practical engineer, a patriotic Russian Jew of the first sixty years of the Soviet Union. Above all he meditated upon the revolutionary developments of the natural sciences, throughout history to be sure but particularly in his own time, the time of what he called 'non-classical science', and of his beloved and noblest hero, Albert Einstein. Kuznetsov was born in Dnepropetrovsk on October 5, 1903 (then Yekaterinoslav). By early years he had begun to teach, first in 1921 at an institute of mining engineering and then at other technological institutions. By 1933 he had received a scientific post within the Academy of Science of the U. S. S. R. , and then at the end of the Second World War he joined several colleagues at the new Institute of the History of Science and Technology. For more than 40 years he worked there until his death in 1984.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Original cloth. Near Fine, in near fine dust jacket. Boston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science, vol. 139. Modern physical science is constituted by specialized scientific fields rooted in experimental laboratory work and in rational… and mathematical representations. Contemporary scientific explanation is rigorously differentiated from religious interpretation, although, to be sure, scientists sometimes do the philosophical work of interpreting the metaphysics of space, time, and matter. However, it is rare that either theologians or philosophers convincingly claim that they are doing the scientific work of physical scientists and mathematicians. The rigidity of these divisions and differentiations is relatively new. Modern physical science was invented slowly and gradually through interactions of the aims and contents of mathematics, theology, and natural philosophy since the seventeenth century. In essays ranging in focus from seventeenth-century interpretations of heavenly comets to twentieth-century explanations of tracks in bubble chambers, ten historians of science demonstrate metaphysical and theological threads continuing to underpin the epistemology and practice of the physical sciences and mathematics, even while they became disciplinary specialties during the last three centuries. The volume is prefaced by tributes to Erwin N. Hiebert, whose teaching and scholarship have addressed and inspired attention to these issues.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Frontispiece, xiii, 349 pp; illus. Original cloth. Near Fine, in near fine dust jacket. Boston Studies in the Philosophy of Science, volume 120. This collection of essays is a tribute to Stillman Drake by some of his friends and colleagues, and b…y others on whom his work has had a formative influence. It is difficult to know him without succumbing to his combination of discipline and enthusiasm, even in fields remote from Renaissance physics and natural philosophy; and so he should not be surprised in this volume to see emphases and methods congenial to him, even on topics as remote as Darwin or the chemical revolution. Therein lies whatever unity the discerning reader may find in this book, beyond the natural focus and coherence of the largest section, on Galileo, and the final section on Drake's collection of books, a major and now accessible resource for research in the field that he has made his own. We have chosen, as the occasion for presenting the volume to Stillman Drake, Galileo's birthday; Galileo has had more than one birthday party in Toronto since Drake came to the University of Toronto. As for the title, it reflects a shared conviction that experiment is the key to science; it is what scientists do. Drake has already asserted that emphasis in the title of his magisterial Galileo at Work, and we echo it here. Those who have had the privilege and pleasure of working and arguing with Stillman over the years know his tenacity, penetration, and vigour. They also know his generosity and humility. We owe him much. Table of contents (14 chapters) The Dating and Significance of Galileo's Pisan Manuscripts William A. Wallace Pages 3-50 Galileo Galilei: An Astronomer at Work William R.

For Rorty, see pp. 2, 81. Philosophical Studies Series 53. 'The Emotions emphasizes the centrality of emotional intentionality as determining… the role of emotions in the economy of mind. Standard theories are presented and assessed with respect to the problem of emotional intentionality. The prevailing cognitive or belief-oriented view of representation and rationality is challenged, and an account of desire as a mode of mental representation with a distinctive function and conditions of rationality is introduced. An original theory of emotions as semantically interrelated structures of beliefs and desires is developed and defended. Also, within the framework provided by the theory, novel solutions are presented to problems about emotional expression and motivation, emotional affectivity, activity and passivity, and positive and negative emotions' (Kluwer Academic Web site).

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First Edition. Frontispiece, xiii, 307 pp; ads. Original cloth. Near Fine, in near fine dust jacket. Pp. 281-297 = Debus's 'Selected Bibliography.' Among others, the contributors include I.B. Cohen, Robert Richards, and Debus: 'From the Sciences…to History: A Personal and Intellectual Journey' (pp. 237-280). 'This volume, honoring the renowned historian of science, Allen G Debus, explores ideas of science - 'experiences of nature' - from within a historiographical tradition that Debus has done much to define. As his work shows, the sciences do not develop exclusively as a result of a progressive and inexorable logic of discovery. A wide variety of extra-scientific factors, deriving from changing intellectual contexts and differing social millieus, play crucial roles in the overall development of scientific thought. These essays represent case studies in a broad range of scientific settings - from sixteenth-century astronomy and medicine, through nineteenth-century biology and mathematics, to the social sciences in the twentieth-century - that show the impact of both social settings and the cross-fertilization of ideas on the formation of science. Aimed at a general audience interested in the history of science, this book closes with Debus's personal perspective on the development of the field.'.
