Thirteen specially written essays discuss topics from the work of
Bas C. van Fraassen, one of the most important contemporary
philosophers of science. The central and unifying theme of the
volume is empiricism, an approach which van Fraassen developed most
fully in The Scientific Image and The Empirical Stance. Thirteen of
the world's leading experts in the field examine van Fraassen's
defence of scientific anti-realism (which he sees as a core tenet
of empiricism), as well as his claim that adopting a philosophical
position like empiricism does not consist in holding a particular
set of beliefs, but is rather a matter of taking a stance. Images
of Empiricism concludes with an extensive and intriguing reply by
van Fraassen, in which he develops and corrects his old views, and
offers new insights into the nature of science, empiricism, and
philosophy itself.
