商品簡介
In an essay based on seminars at the Technical University of Berlin in 2005-6 and 2006-7, Reinberger (Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, Berlin) traces how the philosophy of science has been transformed by taking its relationship to history seriously. Starting with the impact of World War I, Einstein's theory of relativity, and quantum physics, he surveys thinkers including Gaston Bachelard, Michel Foucault, Thomas Kuhn, and Karl Popper on knowledge acquisition.
