The volume is a collection of essays devoted to the analysis of
scientific change and stability. It explores the balance and
tension that exists between commensurability and continuity on the
one hand, and incommensurability and discontinuity on the other.
And it discusses some central epistemological consequences
regarding the nature of scientific progress, rationality and
realism. In relation to these topics, it investigates a number of
new avenues and revisits some familiar issues, with a focus on the
history and philosophy of physics, and an emphasis on developments
in cognitive sciences as well as on the claims of new
experimentalists.The book is constituted of fully revised versions
of papers which were originally presented at the international
colloquium held at the University of Nancy, France, in June 2004.
Each paper is followed by a critical commentary.
