About the Author | The Nature of Scientific Thinking provides a valuable resource both for those who share his basic strategy-who will find many topics to take up-and for those who do not-who will be able to identify where disagreement stems from. ... provides a stimulating framework for thinking about these questions. It should be of interest both to those who tackle questions related to explanation from pragmatic approaches and to those working within formal-logical or ontic approaches. (Lina Jansson, International Studies in the Philosophy of Science, Vol. 29 (2), 2015) In sum, The Nature of Scientific Thinking offers a wide-ranging perspective on the natural sciences. Faye presents his views in discussion with existing accounts of explanation, understanding, representation and interpretation, and illustrates his theses with many detailed examples from a variety of disciplines. -Henk W. de Regt, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews |
