Description
Paul Horwich's influential study of central issues in the philosophy of science offers a fresh perspective on probability and its role in scientific reasoning. By adopting a Bayesian strategy, he argues for a probabilistic approach that provides a more complete understanding of the characteristics of scientific methodology.
The book presents a comprehensive analysis of the key challenges in the philosophy of science, diagnosing the limitations of previous attempts to resolve these issues as stemming from an overly rigid conception of belief. A specially commissioned preface by Colin Howson highlights the enduring importance and relevance of Horwich's work to philosophical enquiry.
