Scientific Objectivity and Its Contexts

Evandro Agazzi

4.9/5 (22746 ratings)

Description:The first part of this book is of an epistemological nature and develops an original theory of scientific objectivity, understood in a weak sense (as intersubjective agreement among the specialists) and a strong sense (as having precise concrete referents). In both cases it relies upon the adoption of operational criteria designed within the particular perspective under which any single science considers reality. The object so attained has a proper ontological status, dependent on the specific character of the criteria of reference (regional ontologies). This justifies a form of scientific realism. Such perspectives are also the result of a complex cultural-historical situation. The awareness of such a historical determinacy of science justifies including in the philosophy of science the problems of ethics of science, relations of science with metaphysics and social dimensions of science that overstep the traditional restriction of the philosophy of science to an epistemology of science. It is to this context that the second part of the book is devoted."Index:Historical and Philosophical BackgroundThe Characterisation of ObjectivityFirst Corollaries in the Philosophy of ScienceThe Ontological Commitment of ScienceScientific RealismThe Contexts of ObjectivityCorollaries in the Philosophy of ScienceScientific Truth RevisitedThe Context of Making ScienceScience and MetaphysicsAppendixReferencesIndexesWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
