Historical and Philosophical Perspectives of Science 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. The series of essays published in this
book, which is Volume V of the Minnesota Studies in the Philosophy
of Science, are (with the exception of two essays) based on papers
presented or discussed at a conference devoted to exploring the
relationships between the history and the philosophy of science,
held at the University of Minnesota in the fall of 1969. In a
forward Peter Caws notes that the conference grew out of the
deliberations of subcommittee of the U.S. National Committee for
the International Union of History and Philosophy of Science. The
contributors are Herbert Feigl, Ernan McMullin, Wesley C. Salmon,
Peter Archinstein, Arnold Thackray, Mary Hesse, Edward Rosen, Paul
K. Feyerabend, Erwin N. Hiebert, Gerd Buchdahl, Roger H. Stuewer,
Howard Stein, and Kenneth F. Schaffner. Some of the papers draw
philosophical conclusions from examples in the history of science;
others point out the significance of philosophical insights for a
study of the history of science; still others explore special
aspects of the history or philosophy of science.
