Description

Explore the depths of scientific inquiry with Reason and the Search for Knowledge: Investigations in the Philosophy of Science. Part of the Boston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science series (Volume 78), this work by Dudley Shapere provides a rigorous examination of how science evolves.

He maintains a balanced perspective, avoiding the trap of linking philosophical standards too tightly to fleeting scientific fashions.
