Description

Explore fundamental questions about scientific rationality through this scholarly collection from the Polish Conferences of 1988-89. Organised by the Jagiellonian University Department of Philosophy of Science, this volume brings together leading philosophical perspectives on rationality in scientific inquiry, featuring papers that examine the contrasting approaches of Karl Popper and Michael Polanyi. Designed for specialists in the philosophy of science, practising scientists with philosophical interests, and postgraduate students, this book offers rigorous analysis of how science achieves rational knowledge and the criteria by which we judge scientific reasoning. The conferences drew a carefully selected group of invited speakers to debate the foundations of scientific method and epistemology, resulting in a focused collection that illuminates key debates in twentieth-century philosophy of science.

Key Features

Published by Springer as part of the Boston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science series, volume 160, offering peer-reviewed academic content.

Features papers from two international conferences held in October 1988 and 1989 at Jagiellonian University in Poland, bringing together leading scholars in philosophy of science.

Directly addresses the philosophical debate between Popper's critical rationalism and Polanyi's tacit knowledge theory, two major frameworks for understanding scientific rationality.

Intended for postgraduate students, researchers in philosophy of science, and scientists seeking deeper engagement with epistemological foundations of their disciplines.
