This fresh collection of essays questions how the historical
process affects our conception of science, including our
understanding of its validity as well as our general conception of
knowledge. The essays in this book consider the philosophical
labours spanning the work of Descartes, Kant and Hegel, still the
philosophical basis of our modern understanding of science, as well
as recent selected philosophers and historians of science such as
Kuhn and Feyerbend. Themes raised include the philosophical basis
for the validity of science, the possibility of ever knowing the
independent world as it truly is, and the intelligibility of
construing scientific knowledge as a historical. Taken separately
and together, these essays provide a sustained analysis of
scientific claims to objective standing, the historicity of thought
and inquiry. They point toward unfinished philosophical business
and the need for a new beginning.
