...an elementary, up-to-date and, as far as possible, terminology-free introduction to the new philosophy of science. Its extraordinary popularity has given rise to this new, revised edition, and has led to translations in Italian, Spanish, Dutch, and Greek....The latest theories in the philosophy of science have successfully challenged the time-honoured view that scientific theories can be justified by showing how they are derived from observation and experiement....The shortcomings of naïve, empiricist accounts of science are outlined, and modern attempts to improve on and replace these accounts are fully described and assessed. The theories of Karl Popper, Imre Lakatos, Thomas Kuhn, and Paul Feyerabend are described, compared, and criticized.
