商品簡介
In Patterns of Discovery (1958), Norwood Russell Hanson (1924-1967; founder, department of the history and philosophy of science, U. of Indiana) argues that observation is theory- and language-laden; in other words, sensory information is filtered through our preconceptions. Lund (philosophy and religious studies, Rowan U., Glassboro, New Jersey) presents an intellectual biography of a neglected pioneer that traces and counters misconceptions about his ideas on a logic of discovery, influences, and legacy for contemporary cognitive science and the epistemology of science. A bibliography of Hanson's works is included. Annotation c2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
