Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book focuses on the different and complementary components of scientific hypothetical thinking as a multifaceted phenomenon in order to shed light on its crucial role in scientific development. It is now a common view that hypotheses play important roles in science, that they can bring order to data. However, the exact nature of their roles deserves more careful and systematic scrutiny. This book s novelty consists in being directly focused on the fact that hypotheses can provide suggestive clues for further scientific studies. That is, they can play a more constructive and creative role. Furthermore, it answers not only why hypotheses are so important, but also how they work within scientific context. The contributions are written by renowned philosophers of science, specifically for this volume, ensuring it is an important read for both philosophers and scientists.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book provides a philosophical analysis of the link between the concept of causation, explanation and mechanisms. It addresses the rapidly expanding field of the new mechanical philosophy from a historical and theoretical point of view, and presents the philosophical ideas that have impacted the mechanistic project and the limits of this project as seen from various explanatory contexts. Furthermore, the book focuses in a succinct manner on the metaphysical and methodological aspects of the new mechanical philosophy and proposes suggestions for future work on the issue of causes and mechanisms. The chapters, accessible to both philosophers and scientists, serve as a helpful tool to the current debate surrounding mechanism, explanation and causation.
