Anatomy of Inquiry (Routledge Revivals)

<p>First published in 1963 this title considers the philosophical problems encountered when attempting to provide a clear and general explanation of scientific principles and the basic confrontation between such principles and experience. Beginning with a detailed introduction that considers various approaches to the philosophy and theory of science Israel Scheffler then divides his study into three key sections – Explanation Significance and Confirmation – that explore how these complex issues involved have been dealt with in contemporary research. This title by one of America’s leading philosophers will provide a valuable analysis of the theory and problems surrounding the Philosophy of Science.</p>
