Veertig helder geschreven essays, aantrekkelijk gepresenteerd, actueel, eigenzinnig, maatschappelijk relevant. Ideeën, opinies en beschouwingen trekken elkaar in dit boek voort als treintjes. Een gevarieerde mix van thema's. Het gaat van vermageren over IQ naar taal, van heelal over DNA naar sport. Beeldcultuur, reizen,verleiding, simpeldenken, stress, barbaren, ecologie, internet, lefgozerkapitalisme en gastronomie vind je evengoed op het menu. Geschiedenis naast vooruitblik, hedendaags naast van alle tijden. Begin 21ste eeuw leven wij voor het eerst in een én-én wereld, een wereld van veel en groot, van licht en leeg. Wij zien zoveel fascinerends om ons heen en tegelijk zoveel interessante onzin. En daarbij voelen we magische aantrekking en tegelijk voorzichtig afstand bewaren. Wanneer speel je mee, wanneer blok je af, tegen wat zeg je ja, tegen wie neen? Daarover gaat deze bundel, over interessante stukjes mens, zeg maar. Uitdagen, verrassen, informeren,e's dieper graven, tussendoor ontroeren, dat is het opzet. Met tal van extra's voor nog meer lees-, kijk en surfplezier.

This volume is a serious attempt to open up the subject of European philosophy of science to real thought, and provide the structural basis for the interdisciplinary development of its specialist fields, but also to provoke reflection on the idea of ‘European philosophy of science’. This efforts should foster a contemporaneous reflection on what might be meant by philosophy of science in Europe and European philosophy of science, and how in fact awareness of it could assist philosophers interpret and motivate their research through a stronger collective identity. The overarching aim is to set the background for a collaborative project organising, systematising, and ultimately forging an identity for, European philosophy of science by creating research structures and developing research networks across Europe to promote its development.

The Berlin Group for scientific philosophy was active between 1928 and 1933 and was closely related to the Vienna Circle. In 1930, the leaders of the two Groups, Hans Reichenbach and Rudolf Carnap, launched the journal Erkenntnis. However, between the Berlin Group and the Vienna Circle, there was not only close relatedness but also significant difference. Above all, while the Berlin Group explored philosophical problems of the actual practice of science, the Vienna Circle, closely following Wittgenstein, was more interested in problems of the language of science. The book includes first discussion ever (in three chapters) on Walter Dubislav’s logic and philosophy. Two chapters are devoted to another author scarcely explored in English, Kurt Grelling, and another one to Paul Oppenheim who became an important figure in the philosophy of science in the USA in the 1940s–1960s. Finally, the book discusses the precursor of the Nord-German tradition of scientific philosophy, Jacob Friedrich Fries.
