Current Controversies in Philosophy of Science asks twelve
philosophers to debate six questions that are driving contemporary
work in this area of philosophy. The questions are: I. Are
Boltzmann Brains Bad? II. Does Mathematical Explanation Require
Mathematical Truth? III. Does Quantum Mechanics Suggest Spacetime
is Nonfundamental? IV. Is Evolution Fundamental When It Comes to
Defining Biological Ontology? V. Is Chance Ontologically
Fundamental? VI. Are Sexes Natural Kinds? These debates explore the
philosophical foundations of particular scientific disciplines,
while also examining more general issues in the philosophy of
science. The result is a book that's perfect for the advanced
philosophy student, building up their knowledge of the foundations
of the field and engaging with its cutting-edge questions.
Preliminary descriptions of each chapter, annotated lists of
further readings for each controversy, and study questions for each
chapter help provide clearer and richer snapshots of active
controversies for all readers.
