Revisiting Discovery and Justification: Historical and philosophical perspectives on the context distinction

by Jutta Schickore (Editor)

The distinction between the contexts of discovery and justification has left a turbulent wake in the philosophy of science. This book recognizes the need to re-open the debate about the nature, development, and significance of the context distinction, about its merits and flaws. The discussion clears the ground for the productive and fruitful integration of these new developments into philosophy of science.
