Yorick's World - Science and the Knowing Subject (Hardcover, New)

Peter Caws provides a fresh treatment of some of the most vexing problems in the philosophy of science: explanation, induction, causality, evolution, discovery, artificial intelligence and the social implications of technological rationality. Caw's work has been shaped equally by the insights of Continental philosophy and a concern with scientific practice. In these 28 essays spanning more than a quarter of a century, he ranges from discussions of the work of French philosopher Gaston Bachelard, to relations between science and surrealism, to the limits of quantitative description. A lively mix of history, theory, speculation and analysis, "Yorick's World" presents a vision of science that includes human history and social life.
