Bilim Felsefesi

Beginner's Guide (Oneworld Publications)

by Geoffrey Gorham, Gülsüm Esen (Translator)

Bilimsel bilgi nasıl üretilir?
Bilim, mutlak hakikate yaklaşıyor mu?
Siyaset ve cinsiyetten etkileniyor mu?
Bilimsel bilgi diğer bilgi türlerinden farklı mıdır?
Psikoloji (Bir makine düşünebilir mi?), fizik (Dünya, belirlenimci midir?) ve biyoloji (Evrimin karmaşıklık eğilimi var mıdır?) gibi belirli bilimlerde ortaya çıkan felsefi soruları nasıl düşünebiliriz?
Hepsinden önemlisi, bilimin doğası nedir?

Geoffrey Gorham’ın Bilim Felsefesi tüm bu sorulara ve daha fazlasına temas eden, alana kolayca giriş yapmanızı sağlayacak bir rehber kitap niteliği taşıyor.

This was a few kilometers above my head.

3.5/5. A decent and high-level Introduction into the most interesting concepts of science. Autor tries to stay objective most of the time, but sometimes he discusses paradigms and views with very few mentions of criticisms, indicating his personal support. The last chapter was disappointing - it began with a trivial discussion of politics&science in modern world, and then it went into a broad but rather shallow overview of human future.

I'd replace the last chapter and with a more detailed view on the ancient history of science. There, the philosophical and mathematical approaches to science and universe are described with very little detail.

It is not an easy book.

It's quite challenging but worth the effort.

[Jeff · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nice, easy to read introduction to the philosophy. Good overview. Not great, but worth reading if you want a good intro.

[Jonathan · Rating 3 out of 5]

had good discussion in some areas, goes way to far afield in the last third or quarter of the book. Poor reasoning, probably due to bias, in places.
