The Cosmos Of Science

Reviews / Votes

An enjoyable, interesting and informative collection of essays. . . . of value to at least three groups of philosophers and historians of science. Experts in a given subdiscipline will find several essays informing them of some of the leading-edge work in their field. Non-experts will be able to see what is happening at the frontier of a variety of fields. Those scholars either searching for a new area of research or just beginning their work will be able to sample a variety of fields. This is a book I will keep. * <i>Metascience</i> * Possibly the most varied and diverse collection of articles to appear in the Pittsburgh-Konstanz series thus far. . . .

In the overall genre of philosophy of science anthologies devoted to recent work across many fields, this new volume is about as good as it gets. * <i>Philosophia</i> *
