科學(xué)究竟是什么 : （第三版）

《科學(xué)究竟是什么(第3版)》是英國著名學(xué)者A．F．查爾默斯論述當(dāng)代科學(xué)哲學(xué)的代表作。提起查爾默斯，相信許多讀者對他的名字并不陌生。1982年，他這部著作第一版的中文版首次在我國出版，是當(dāng)時國內(nèi)最早全面而系統(tǒng)地介紹20世紀(jì)西方科學(xué)哲學(xué)各流派的重要著作，它對科學(xué)哲學(xué)在學(xué)術(shù)復(fù)興后的中國的傳播、對我國科學(xué)哲學(xué)人才的培養(yǎng)以及學(xué)術(shù)研究的開展，都起到過重要的作用，有不少人正是讀著《科學(xué)究竟是什么(第3版)》走人科學(xué)哲學(xué)的殿堂的。

《科學(xué)究竟是什么(第3版)》是國際上較流行的一部優(yōu)秀的科學(xué)哲學(xué)教科書。作者在書中介紹了 20世紀(jì)最有影響的科學(xué)哲學(xué)大家，如波普爾、庫恩、拉卡托斯和費耶阿本德等人的主要學(xué)術(shù)思想，還介紹了20世紀(jì)最后20年科學(xué)哲學(xué)的最新發(fā)展。
