This title was first published in 2002.Science and humanity are
usually seen as very different: the sciences of nature aim at
explanations whereas the sciences of man seek meaning and
understanding. This book shows how these contrasting descriptions
fail to fit into a modern philosophical account of the sciences and
the arts. Presenting some of the major ideas within the philosophy
of science on facts, explanation, interpretation, methods, laws,
and theories, Jan Faye compares various approaches, including his
own. Arguing that the sciences of nature and the sciences of man
share a common practice of acquiring knowledge, this book offers a
unique introduction to key aspects in the philosophy of science.
