The Author: Friedrich G. Wallner is professor for the Philosophy of Science at the University of Vienna. His publications cover a wide range from the Philosophy of Language, Contemporary Philosophy of Science to fundamental problems in Philosophy of Science. In the last 15 years he developed a new philosophy of Science: Constructive Realism. This approach opens many new ways to discuss, to ground and to demarcate science. In the last 10 years his specific interest has been focused on the relation between science and culture. In this context he analysed the structure of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The author has published widely on 150 essays as well as 10 books.
