AUTHOR
SUMMARY
This provocative, focused, and succinct new text addresses two issues integral to the study of the philosophy of science: the rationality of science and the realism question. Students are invited to think deeply about salient issues as they explore collections of cases and examples, beginning by considering the founding document of modern science, Copernicus'sOn the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres, and including discussions of other key readings such as Thomas Kuhn'sThe Structure of Scientific Revolutions. Author Keith Parsons challenges students' thinking, offering his own views while providing a solid foundation for debate.Parsons, Keith M. is the author of 'Copernican Quesitons A Concise Invitation to the Philosophy of Science', published 2005 under ISBN 9780072850208 and ISBN 0072850205.
