This monograph analyzes Nicholas Rescher's system of pragmatic
idealism. It also looks at his approach to prediction in science.
Coverage highlights a prominent contribution to a central topic in
the philosophy and methodology of science. The author offers a full
characterization of Rescher's system of philosophy. She presents
readers with a comprehensive philosophico-methodological analysis
of this important work. Her research takes into account different
thematic realms: semantic, logical, epistemological,
methodological, ontological, axiological, and ethical. The book
features three, thematic-parts: I) General Coordinates, Semantic
Features and Logical Components of Scientific Prediction; II)
Predictive Knowledge and Predictive Processes in Rescher's
Methodological Pragmatism; and III) From Reality to Values:
Ontological Features, Axiological Elements, and Ethical Aspects of
Scientific Prediction. This insightful analysis offers a critical
reconstruction of Rescher's philosophy. The system he created is
often characterized as pragmatic idealism that is open to some
realist elements. He is a prominent representative of contemporary
pragmatism who has made a great deal of contributions to the study
of this topic. This area is crucial for science and it has been
little considered in the philosophy of science.
