A Companian to the Philosophy of Science

Edited by W.H. Newton-Smith

Unmatched in the quality of its world-renowned contributors, A Companion to the Philosophy of Science serves as both a course text and a reference book across the broad spectrum of issues of concern in the philosophy of science.

Taken as a whole, the volume provides an unparalleled survey of all the topical areas, major methods, and stances. With entries on important figures in the history of the philosophy of science, as well as a comprehensive account of areas of contemporary interest, this Companion is the most authoritative guide available in the philosophy of science.

"This volume is a tremendous compendium of the topics that comprise philosophy of science. For almost any topic, the reader can find a brief up-to-date statement of the problems and current solutions. It is an invaluable reference book for students and scholars alike. It will be especially useful for those in other fields who wish to gain some quick, authoritative knowledge of what's going on in philosophy of science today." Peter Machamer, University of Pittsburgh

"This is everything that one looks for in a companion and much more. It covers the field fully, fairly, and concisely. The entries are well written and truly informative, with excellent guides to further reading. No one interested in the nature of science can afford to be without this volume." Michael Ruse, University of Guelph

"This Companion provides an impressive overview of the imposing geography in philosophy of science." Roy Sorensen, Dartmouth College
