Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

This important book is "Foresight and Understanding : An Enquiry into the Aims of Science" by Stephen Toulmin. Its Foreword was written by Jacques Barzun. It was published as a Harper Torchbook in "The Science Library" in 1963, It is now Out of Print. (OP) The following is excerpted from Jacques Barzun's Foreword : " To know what science is, what it does, and how it affects other manifestations of mind is a task for the man who is at once critic, historian , and philosopher, and who has also been trained in one of the sciences as well as mathematics. Professor Toulmin, who is qualified in these ways, has the added merit of being a lucid and lively writer." Said Henry E. Kyburg in "The Philosophical Review" : "This is an interesting, well-written book, and a part of its burden is a thoroughly sound and much needed antidote to temporal provincialism." CONTENTS : ** Forecasting and Understanding ** Ideals of Natural Order ** Forms and Styles of Theory ** The Evolution of Scientific Ideas.
