Introduction to Logic and the Scientific Method
14.99 €
For decades, this book served as the standard textbook on logic and scientific method in most American universities and remains popular (the last English edition was published in 2007). The authors seamlessly combine Aristotle's syllogistic with the formalized language of mathematical logic, and they present the methodology of cognition in close connection with logic. All the standard topics taught in a basic course in logic are covered, and their presentation is more detailed than in standard textbooks. As a synthetic course in logic and scientific methodology, it has no equivalent among Russian textbooks.
A significant portion of the book is devoted to the study of problems in applied logic: experimental research, induction, and statistical methods for analyzing value judgments.
This book analyzes the subject of logic and the nature of the scientific method, examines the role logical methods play in scientific knowledge, and critiques many alternative approaches to interpreting logic and science in general. In this regard, it stands as an independent philosophical work and will be of interest to specialists in the philosophy and methodology of science.
For teachers of logic, philosophy of science, argumentation theory, and concepts of modern natural science, as well as students studying logic and the methodology of science.
