What is empiricism and what could it be? Bas C. van Fraassen, one
of the world's foremost contributors to philosophical logic and the
philosophy of science, here undertakes a fresh consideration of
these questions and offers a program for renewal of the empiricist
tradition. The empiricist tradition is not and could not be defined
by common doctrines, but embodies a certain stance in philosophy,
van Fraassen says. This stance is displayed first of all in a
searing, recurrent critique of metaphysics, and second in a focus
on experience that requires a voluntarist view of belief and
opinion. Van Fraassen focuses on the philosophical problems of
scientific and conceptual revolutions and on the not unrelated
ruptures between religious and secular ways of seeing or conceiving
of ourselves. He explores what it is to be or not be secular and
points the way toward a new relationship between secularism and
science within philosophy.
