To what extent is the transfinite part of  mathematics completely trustworthy? Why is there a general `malaise'  concerning the logical approach to the foundations of mathematics?  What is the role of symmetry in physics? Is it possible to build a  coherent worldview compatible with a macroobjectivistic position and  based on the quantum picture of the world? What account can be given  of opinion change in the light of new evidence? \u003cbr\u003e  These are some of the questions discussed in this volume, which  collects 14 lectures on the foundation of science given at the School  of Philosophy of Science, Trieste, October 1989. \u003cbr\u003e  The volume will be of particular interest to any student or scholar  engaged in interdisciplinary research into the foundations of science  in the context of contemporary debates. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401051019\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-2496-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 223cm x152cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 329\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45378525626508,"sku":"9789401051019","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401051019.jpg?v=1772024800","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401051019","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
