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.

評分怎么说呢,内容当然是不错啦。只是因为是考研制定的书,所以没有选择商务版的,从卓越上买会后,发现书真的很厚,不过字体真的比较大,这么多年没有看到过这么大的字体啦,字体间距也比较宽,好像是上小学时的语文书哈哈
評分查尔莫斯的这本《科学究竟是什么》是研究生阶段课程主要参考书,本来是带着对科学本质的认知去看这本书的,本来设想学罢应该对科学的概念更加明晰,但结果只能说“始于迷茫,走向更大的迷茫”。 从最后一次课,大家的讨论就可看出,全班对查尔莫斯的科学...
評分第一眼看到这本书,就想翻一翻。翻开来看了下目录,又看了几页,就被内容迷住了。对科学的本质做了详细的论述,对于在学术道路上遇到深层次的哲学问题的学生有很好的帮助,是一本不错的科学哲学书籍,可以反复读出不同的味道,并找到自己的支持与反对。
