This book offers a systematic interpretation of the relation
between natural science and metaphysics in Husserl's phenomenology.
It shows that Husserl's account of scientific knowledge is a
radical alternative to established methods and frameworks in
contemporary philosophy of science. The author's interpretation of
Husserl's philosophy offers a critical reconstruction of the
historical context from which his phenomenological approach
developed, as well as new interpretations of key Husserlian
concepts such as metaphysics, idealization, life-world,
objectivism, crisis of the sciences, and historicity. The
development of Husserl's philosophical project is marked by the
tension between natural science and transcendental phenomenology.
While natural science provides a paradigmatic case of the way in
which transcendental phenomenology, ontology, empirical science,
and metaphysics can be articulated, it has also been the object of
philosophical misunderstandings that have determined the current
cultural and philosophical crisis. This book demonstrates the ways
in which Husserl shows that our conceptions of philosophy and of
nature are inseparable. Philosophy's Nature will appeal to scholars
and advanced students who are interested in Husserl and the
relations between phenomenology, natural science, and metaphysics.

Mature sciences have been long been characterized in terms of the
"successfulness", "reliability" or "trustworthiness" of their
theoretical, experimental or technical accomplishments. Today many
philosophers of science talk of "robustness", often without
specifying in a precise way the meaning of this term. This lack of
clarity is the cause of frequent misunderstandings, since all these
notions, and that of robustness in particular, are connected to
fundamental issues, which concern nothing less than the very nature
of science and its specificity with respect to other human
practices, the nature of rationality and of scientific progress;
and science's claim to be a truth-conducive activity. This book
offers for the first time a comprehensive analysis of the problem
of robustness, and in general, that of the reliability of science,
based on several detailed case studies and on philosophical essays
inspired by the so-called practical turn in philosophy of science.

Could all or part of our taken-as-established scientific
conclusions, theories, experimental data, ontological commitments,
and so forth have been significantly different? Science as It Could
Have Been focuses on a crucial issue that contemporary science
studies have often neglected: the issue of contingency within
science. It considers a number of case studies, past and present,
from a wide range of scientific disciplines-physics, biology,
geology, mathematics, and psychology-to explore whether components
of human science are inevitable, or if we could have developed an
alternative successful science based on essentially different
notions, conceptions, and results. Bringing together a group of
distinguished contributors in philosophy, sociology, and history of
science, this edited volume offers a comprehensive analysis of the
contingency/inevitability problem and a lively and up-to-date
portrait of current debates in sciences studies.
