Rezension

This new textbook from Barker and Kitcher is a wonderful attempt to create a new thoroughly more modern kind of general philosophy of science course that embraces the true expansiveness of the field and the modern concern of philosophers to move beyond traditional epistemological and metaphysical debates In a very short space of text, this book makes a highly accessible case for an open and inclusive philosophy of science.
