This volume provides a broad and comprehensive overview of the many ways in which pragmatism has influenced contemporary debates in the philosophy of science.
Pragmatism has been undergoing a considerable revival in philosophical debates for the last two decades. Philosophers of science are now turning to pragmatism as a source of general insights and technical tools to address some of the thorniest problems of the discipline from a new and fresh perspective. This volume traces how pragmatism―in its classical and contemporary versions―serves as a useful toolbox for philosophers of science. It is divided into three thematic sections. The first section contains essays addressing topics belonging to the general philosophy of science. The second section features chapters that deal with themes and concepts from special sciences, ranging from natural sciences to sociology and from mathematics to religious studies. Finally, the third section analyzes the societal role of science and scientific activity.
Pragmatism and Philosophy of Science will appeal to scholars and advanced students working on philosophy of science, pragmatism, and history of philosophy.
