The Logic and Methodology of Science & Pseudoscience

by Fred Wilson

"This book examines the various norms for the logic and methodology of science, placing them in the context of the cognitive interests and explanatory ideals that motivate science. Various themes in the philosophy of science are examined, including the views of K. Popper, T. Kuhn and L. Laudan. Characteristic cases of scientific theories are examined in order to illustrate and justify the proposed norms."--Book jacket.
