This new edition of Chalmers's highly regarded and widely read work-translated into fifteen languages-is extensively rewritten and reorganized, reflecting the experience of the author, his colleagues, and correspondents in twenty years of teaching from the previous edition. Significant additions are new chapters on the Bayesian approach to science, the new experimentalism, the nature of scientific laws, and the realism/anti-realism debate. An ideal introduction to scientific method, Chalmers's work is both accessible to beginners and a valuable resource for advanced students and scholars.

评分如果我告诉你,自由落体定理按照一般的想法,在逻辑上正确的可能性是零,你会怎么想? 普遍的观点是:因为见到任何东西都在下落时都具有几乎相同的运动性质,牛顿通过实验排除其他干扰因素(比如空气阻力等等),归纳出自由落体定律,并进一步算出自由落体常数,也就是g=9.8 N...
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...
