Bücher von Susan Haack

Illustrated with examples from the history of science, this work features an approach to familiar questions about scientific evidence and method and tackles important questions about science and its place in society.

A collection of essays that is informed and unified by the conviction that philosophy can, and should, engage with real-world issues. This edition includes a devastating critique of Karl Popper's highly (and dangerously) influential philosophy of science; an analysis of scientism; and a paper on 'academic ethics in a preposterous environment'.

Offers answers for core epistemological questions about the nature of belief, the character and structure of evidence, the determinants of evidential quality, the relation of justification, probability, and truth, among others.
