On Scientific Representations

From Kant to a New Philosophy of Science

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Scientific concepts, laws, theories and models are representations but are uniquely different. This book explores each within an original, philosophical framework rooted in the Kantian tradition. Through a revisionist historical approach, it shows how this tradition helps us rethink contemporary issues in epistemology and the philosophy of science.
