Addresses philosophical issues connected with several empirical sciences.
Brings together contributions by philosophers, physicists, mathematicians and historians of science.
Description
A ground-breaking collection of essays which tackles the philosophical issues at play in cosmology, physics, mathematics and neuroscience. Considering topics such as the presence of ontology in cosmological theory and physics, it also weighs up the philosophical issues connected with mathematical method, the neuroscience of emotions and evolutionary anthropology. Contributions also feature on structuralism in the Platonic philosophy of science and the issue of knowledge and faith. A must for anyone interested in the philosophy of science and the increasingly blurred borders between the two.
