Abstract

Examines one of the most exciting and dynamic periods in the development of medieval Islam, from the late 9th to the early 11th century, through the thought of five of its principal thinkers, prime among them al-Farabi. This great Islamic philosopher, called 'the Second Master' after Aristotle, produced a recognizable school of thought in which others pursued and developed some of his own intellectual preoccupations. Their thought is treated with particular reference to the most basic questions which can be asked in the theory of knowledge or epistemology. The book thus fills a lacuna in the l

Abstract

This book introduces readers to the topic of explanation. The insights of Plato, Aristotle, J.S. Mill and Carl Hempel are examined, and are used to argue against the view that explanation is merely a problem for the philosophy of science. Having established its importance for understanding knowledge in general, the book concludes with a bold and original explanation of explanation.

Abstract

This book argues that the power of science as the most respected and authoritative world view is based on its superior material and organizational resources, not on its superior rationality. Fuchs approaches science as a social construct, and utilizing a theory of scientific organizations, he analyzes knowledge production in scientific fields - how they differ in their resources and how these differences affect how science is conducted. The book explains why certain fields produce science and facts, while others engage in hermeneutics and conversation; why certain specialities change through cumulation rather than fragmentation; and why some fields are relativistic while others are positivist in their self-understanding. This general theory of knowledge is applicable not only to science, but to all varieties of professional groups engaged in knowledge production.

Abstract

De stelling dat 'goede' wetenschap identiek is aan wetenschap die zichzelf tot doel stelt volkomen waardevrij te zijn, kan vandaag op nog weinig bijval rekenen. Integendeel, hoe langer hoe meer geven wetenschappers toe dat 'goede' wetenschap beantwoordt aan waarden die op een gegeven ogenblik als wetenschappelijk beschouwd worden. De wetenschapsgeschiedenis en -filosofie poogt dan ook inzicht te krijgen in deze tijds- en plaatsgebonden waarden: hoe veranderlijk zijn deze waarden? Op welke manier beïnvloeden ze het wetenschappelijk onderzoek? In welke mate zijn ze een weerspiegeling van de waarden die gehanteerd worden in de sociale, culturele en politieke context waar de wetenschapsbeoefening noodzakelijk deel van uitmaakt? "Secrets of Life, Secrets of death" bundelt negen essays die Evelyn Fox Keller, één van de grondleggers van de feministische wetenschapstheorie, tussen 1985 en 1991 schreef over het probleem van 'goede' wetenschap en de manier waarop dit verband houdt met gender, cultuur en taal. Ze tracht inzicht te krijgen in de mechanismen van de hedendaagse wetenschapsbeoefening en baseert zich daarvoor op bevindingen van feministische theoretici en hedendaagse wetenschapsfilosofen, maar houdt tevens rekening met de concrete verwezenlijkingen binnen de wetenschap. Fox Keller verdiept zich onder meer in de verstrekkende materiële gevolgen van de wetenschap, gevolgen die nergens meer dramatisch tot uiting komen dan in het succes van de nucleaire fysica en de moleculaire biologie, of, zoals Fox Keer het uitdrukt, "in de productie van technologieën van leven en dood". "Sectrets of Life. Secrets of Death" besteedt daarenboven veel aandacht aan de rol van taal in de wetenschap. Aan de hand van concrete onderzoeksprogramma's toont de auteur aan hoe bepalen specifiek taalgebruik (bijvoorbeeld de taal van de competitie, het woordgebruik in verband met 'het individu') is voor het wetenschappelijk onderzoek.
