Wissenschaftstheorie

In this book, renowned philosopher Gerhard Schurz offers an introduction to the fundamental problems of the philosophy of science. The arguments and goals of the sciences can only be properly understood if one is familiar with their foundations and their methods or research. These are presented here for readers both within and outside the academic world. The thematic scope ranges from logical and empirical methods to scientific laws, theories, and explanations, as well as questions concerning the objectivity and value neutrality of science. In this way, the book provides a comprehensive overview of all areas of the philosophy of science and is ideally suited as a teaching resource for instructors and as exam preparation for students.
