false 147381 3 Over the past thirty years Paul Feyerabend has developed an extremely distinctive and influentical approach to problems in the philosophy of science. The most important and seminal of his published essays are collected here in two volumes, with new introductions to provide an overview and historical perspective on the discussions of each part. Volume 1 presents papers on the interpretation of scientific theories, together with papers applying the views developed to particular problems in philosophy and physics. The essays in volume 2 examine the origin and history of an abstract rationalism, as well as its consequences for the philosophy of science and methods of scientific research. Professor Feyerabend argues with great force and imagination for a comprehensive and opportunistic pluralism. In doing so he draws on extensive knowledge of scientific history and practice, and he is alert always to the wider philosophical, practical and political implications of conflicting views. These two volumes fully display the variety of his ideas, and confirm the originality and significance of his work. 142236 1981 Problems Of Empiricism (Philosophical Papers, Vol 2) total:6|5:4|4:2| 6 28 10 0 0 0 false false Thu Aug 13 06:42:54 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 13 06:43:01 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri May 22 14:34:19 -0700 2009 Fri May 22 14:34:19 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Nov 18 20:48:45 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 18 20:48:45 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Wed Aug 13 15:26:10 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 13 15:26:10 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Mon Jul 28 08:13:08 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 28 08:13:08 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sat May 24 13:23:14 -0700 2008 Sat May 24 13:23:14 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Feb 15 05:29:35 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 15 05:29:35 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Mon Oct 29 13:35:19 -0700 2007 Mon Oct 29 13:35:19 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Fri Aug 17 21:12:35 -0700 2007 Fri Aug 17 21:12:36 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Sat May 05 16:15:17 -0700 2007 Sat May 05 16:15:17 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=147381
