Rezensionen

"Whether used as a textbook or as a review of issues concerning scientific revolutions and theory change in their historical context, Copernicus, Darwin, and Freud may be strongly recommended." (The Journal of the International Society for the History of Philosophy of Science, 2011)
"Those seeking a more conventional approach to the history and philosophy of science may well find Weinert s book informative...there is much to be learned from Weinert s comparison of Copernicus, Darwin, and Freud." ( Science & Education , January 2011)
