Recent developments in the philosophy of science have shaken the established view that scientific theories can be justified on the basis that they are derived from observation and experiment. Developments have shown that this view of science is often mistaken, yet it still informs much of today's science.
The revised and expanded edition of this standard work, used in a wide range of university courses throughout the world, provides a comprehensive and informative treatment of the major developments in the field over the last two decades in the same accessible style that made the earlier editions so popular. Of particular importance is the author's review of Bayes' theorem and the new experimentalism, as well as new chapters on the nature of scientific laws and the latest trends in the debate between realists and anti-realists.
Alan Chalmers was born in Bristol in 1939 and is a professor at the University of Sydney.
