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.
否定实证主义(归纳逻辑)及否证主义的论证很精彩。库恩和拉卡托斯的理论,在我看来就像是以太,毫无用处,完全可以用奥卡姆剃刀给他刮的干干净净(什么都想说明,而又什么也讲不清)。无政府主义我很喜欢,但是作者有过度演绎无政府主义,甚至有些扭曲该理论的嫌疑(有太多矛...
評分1 归纳主义 眼见为实 经验归纳的事实就是科学 (但事实不代表真相) 2 否证主义 可以校验是否正确的才是科学(但错了也许只是当时科学水平不够) 3 结构科学观 科学是围绕一个范式体系运作的(但太强调范式的重要性) 4 贝叶斯主义 科学不是绝对的东西 可以计算概率 对错都有可...
評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。
評分写在前面: 这篇文章并非专为这本书所写,但确实是很大程度上受到这本书的影响才写的。是一组在写的文章之一。另一篇是:《“方差”漫谈之一:从人和猴子说起》(http://www.douban.com/note/256625376/)希望有兴趣的朋友能来交流指正~ 正文: 凭借一...
評分这是我研究生期间导师开的书单的第一本,也是我读的第一本比较专业的书。但它很是好读,特别是前面部分,很是形象。想我以前是理科生,读这样书也不觉得晦涩,更能引领读者慢慢进行思考,可以说是一本值得推荐的科学哲学的入门读物。
