The Relevance of Judgment for Philosophy of Science, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This is the fourth volume of the book series Comptes Rendus de l'Académie Internationale de Philosophie des Sciences whose volumes are freely available online. It contains papers presented at the AIPS conference held in October 2021 in Zadar, Croatia.

Interest in the phenomenon of judgment within the philosophy of science has become increasingly prominent and has been central to several of the AIPS conferences in recent years together with related concepts such as creativity and understanding. This would have been difficult to imagine in the days of Nagel, Hempel, and Popper where terms such as `understanding' did not belong to the vocabulary of philosophy of science. This volume examines judgment along with its epistemic and ethical dimensions across different areas of the philosophy of science.
