Analyses of Theories and Methods of Physics and Psychology was
first published in 1970. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital
technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible,
and are published unaltered from the original University of
Minnesota Press editions.This is Volume IV of the Minnesota Studies
in the Philosophy of Science, a series published in cooperation
with the Minnesota Center for Philosophy of Science at the
University of Minnesota and edited by Herbert Feigl and Grover
Maxwell. Dr. Feigl was the director of the Center.In a preface to
the first volume in the series, Professors Feigl and Michael
Scriven noted the extensive concern of the Center with "the meaning
of theoretical concepts as defined by their locus in the
'nomological net' and the related rejection of the reductionist
forms of operationism and positivism." In this volume, several
contributors are again concerned with philosophical, logical, and
methodological problems of psychology. As before, some papers deal
with broad philosophical issues, others with more specific problems
of method or interpretation. However, a deep concern for logical
and methodological problems of special relevance to the physical
sciences is reflected in a number of essays.The contents are
arranged in two sections, the first part being based on the papers
and discussion from a conference held at the Center on the problems
of correspondence rules. Contributors are Herbert Feigl, Paul K.
Feyerabend, N.R. Hanson, Carl G. Hempel, Mary Hesse, Grover
Maxwell, and William Rozeboom. The second group of essays, by
various members of the staff of the Center and some of its
visitors, reflects current issues and controversies of great
interest. The contributors are William Demopoulos, Keith Gunderson,
Paul E. Meehl (three essays), and Michael Radner.
