Continental Philosophy of Science

Beschreibung

Continental Philosophy of Science provides an expert guide to the major twentieth-century French and German philosophical thinking on science. The book refutes the view that twentieth-century continental thought is anti-scientific, and shows how continental thinkers offer distinctive perspectives that both complement and fruitfully interact with analytic philosophy of science. Collected here are primary texts by Husserl, Heidegger, Foucault, Deleuze, Irigaray, and Habermas, along with previously untranslated essays by Bergson, Bachelard, and Canguilhem, and new translations of work by Hegel and Cassirer. Each primary text is paired with commentary by leading contemporary scholars, including Terry Pinkard, Jean Gayon, Michael Friedman, Richard Tieszen, Joseph Rouse, Mary Tiles, Hans-Jörg Rheinberger, Linda Alcoff, Todd May, Penelope Deutscher, and Axel Honneth. Gary Gutting's introduction, moreover, presents a unified interpretative survey of continental work on philosophy of science. Rheinberger, Linda Alcoff, Todd May, Penelope Deutscher, and Axel Honneth.

Rezensionen

"Continental philosophers in Britain and the United Stateshave for the most part ignored the enormous contribution ofcontinental philosophy to the philosophy of science, just asphilosophers of science in Britain and the United States have done.Gary Gutting has long been a leading exponent of the importance ofthis contribution and his superb collection, with its many newtranslations, should go a long way toward turning the tide."Robert Bernasconi, University of Memphis

"This masterful collection of original texts and expertcommentary demonstrates Continental philosophers' rich anddiverse engagement with science, dispelling the notion thatsignificant philosophical thinking about science is the soleprerogative of 'analytic' philosophers."Daniel Dahlstrom, Boston University

"This book makes a welcome contribution to the secondaryliterature on the history and philosophy of modern science. GaryGutting has assembled an impressive gallery of essays, whichcollectively advance a powerful, if relatively neglected,interpretation of the development of scientific method andpractice. The pairing of influential historical figures withleading contemporary commentators is especially valuable."Daniel W. Conway, The Pennsylvania State University
