Book The Concept of Nature

Download or read book The Concept of Nature written by John Torrance and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1992 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The concept of nature six distinguished authors (three historians of science, philosopher, a mathematician, and a biologist) describe the major phases in the development of scientific conceptions of nature from classical Greece to the present. Professor Geoffrey Lloyd shows how different ideas of nature originated in the polemics of ancient Athens. Alexander Murray analyses medieval conceptions of nature in terms of contrasts between learned and unlearned, between schools of thought, and between Christianity and Greek philosophy. Professor Richard Westfall argues that the essence of the scientific revolution of the seventeenth century was its novel conception of nature, quantified, mechanized, and secularized. Professor Elliott Sober examines ways in which Darwinism undermines teleological thinking in biology. Finally, Professor Roger Penrose makes accessible to the layman the nine basic theories on which modern physics draws in constructing its world-views, while Professor Robert May shows how biological processes can now be investigated, and perhaps controlled, at both the molecular and the population levels.

  • Release : 1993
  • ISBN : 9780520079199
  • Pages : 393 pages

Download or read book Yorick s World written by Peter Caws and published by University of California Presson Demand. This book was released on 1993 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "These essays are the work of a genial, literate mind exploring a wide range of issues mainly centered on the philosophy of science and epistemology, but including considerations of literature, language, and social practice. Caws's work, in general, represents an independent and alternative current in the philosophy of science, one which is informed by a broader conception of scientific thought and activity than are the usual approaches of either the traditional logical-empiricists or the more recent post-positivists. And he has a knack for deflating the latest fashionable claims early in the game, even before fashion has set in."--Marx Wartofsky, Editor, "The Philosophical Forum"
