Description

"Theories of Scientific Progress presents the arguments for and against common extremes, and the positions in between. It covers the interpretations of scientific progress from William Whewell through Karl Popper and Imre Lakatos to Thomas Kuhn and beyond, to the latest contemporary debates." "Theories of Scientific Progress is the ideal introduction to this topic. It is clearly organized, with suggestions for further reading which point the way to both primary texts and secondary literature. It will be essential reading for students of the history and philosophy of science."--BOOK JACKET.
