The Logic of Discovery - A Theory of the Rationality of Scientific Research (Hardcover, 1993 ed.): S. Kleiner The Logic of Discovery - A Theory of the Rationality of Scientific Research (Hardcover, 1993 ed.)
S. Kleiner
R4,432 Discovery Miles 44 320 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Scientific research is viewed as a deliberate activity and the logic of discovery consists of strategies and arguments whereby the best objectives (questions) and optimal means for achieving these objectives (heuristics) are chosen. This book includes a discussion and some proposals regarding the way the logic of questions can be applied to understanding scientific research and draws upon work in artificial intelligence in a discussion of heuristics and methods for appraising heuristics (metaheuristics). It also includes a discussion of a third source for scientific objectives and heuristics; episodes and examplars from the history of science and the history of philosophy. This book is written to be accessible to advanced students in philosophy and to the scientific community. It is of interest to philosophers of science, philosophers of biology, historians of physics, and historians of biology.

Mediaeval and Modern Coins in the Athenian Agora (Paperback, Volume Xviii Ed.): Fred S. Kleiner Mediaeval and Modern Coins in the Athenian Agora (Paperback, Volume Xviii Ed.)
Fred S. Kleiner
R175 Discovery Miles 1 750 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

From the thousands of pieces of Late Roman small change discovered trodden into beaten earth floors and dropped into wells to the hoards of 19th-century A.D. silver French francs discovered beneath modern houses, many post-classical coins have been discovered during excavations at the Agora. This booklet presents Byzantine, Frankish, Venetian, Turkish, and modern Greek coins, with many pieces illustrated with clear black and white photos of both obverse and reverse.

Greek and Roman Coins in the Athenian Agora (Paperback, Volume XV ed.): Fred S. Kleiner Greek and Roman Coins in the Athenian Agora (Paperback, Volume XV ed.)
Fred S. Kleiner
R177 Discovery Miles 1 770 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Over 75,000 coins have been found during excavations at the Agora, many minted in the city but others brought from Athens's far-flung commercial contacts. In addition to the mostly bronze and copper coins themselves, a building that may have served as the Athenian mint is described in this booklet. After describing the physical techniques of production, the author takes a chronological approach and includes numerous black and white photographs, making this concise guide a useful aid to the identification of lower-value Greek and Roman coinage.

R1,181 Discovery Miles 11 810 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Die Bedeutung von Popularen Kulturen sowie von Popkulturen kann nicht ohne einen Bezug auf Performativitat und Medialitat begriffen werden. Mit diesem Bezug bilden sich zugleich Kulturen des Performativen und Medialen heraus. Dieses Thema ist bisher im Kontext der Forschungen zur Performativitat von Kulturen nicht systematisch erforscht worden. Vor diesem Hintergrund geht es um die Beantwortung der Frage, inwieweit sich in Popularen Kulturen sowie Popkulturen Aspekte, Prozesse, Transformationen, Manifestationen von Medialitat und/oder Performativitat niederschlagen, beobachten und beschreiben lassen, wie Populare Kulturen sowie Popkulturen mit formen bzw. allererst durch Erscheinungen Popularer Kulturen sowie Popkulturen eine spezifische Bedeutung erhalten. Die Aufgabe besteht darin, nicht einfach bereits etablierte Konzepte zur Performativitat und
Medialitat in ihrer Tragkraft am Beispiel Popularer Kulturen und Popkulturen zu veranschaulichen, sondern im Gegenteil, gegenstandsorientierte Konzepte von Performativitat und Medialitat durch ein sowie Popkulturen close reading Popularer Kulturen zu erarbeiten interdisziplinar und intermedial.

Grundlagentexte zur sozialwissenschaftlichen Medienkritik (German, Paperback, 2010 ed.): Marcus S Kleiner Grundlagentexte zur sozialwissenschaftlichen Medienkritik (German, Paperback, 2010 ed.)
Marcus S Kleiner
R2,223 Discovery Miles 22 230 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Was bisher im medienkritischen Diskurs fehlt, ist ein Reader, der klassische Positionen der Medienkritik dokumentiert und kommentiert, also eine Sammlung von Grundlagentexten der Klassiker dieser Disziplin. Um der Formvielfalt der Medienkritik gerecht zu werden, darf sich eine Auseinandersetzung mit ihr nicht auf Rekonstruktion bzw. Dokumentation beschranken, sondern muss diese mit aktuellen Perspektiven verbinden, also zeigen, wie klassische Argumentationslinien von aktuellen Ansatzen aufgegriffen, kritisiert oder weiterentwickelt werden. Der Aufgabe, diese Lucke zu schliessen, allerdings aus sozialwissenschaftlicher, d.h. konkret soziologischer und politikwissenschaftlicher Perspektive, nimmt sich dieser Band an."
