Especially the first part is good, as the author argues that most contemporary debates in philosophy of science are still carried out within the presuppositions of logical empiricism, even 50 years after its demise. I was not equally impressed by the author's own account of principles, laws and theories. It did not seem useful to me. no reviews | add a review

This book provides a clear, well-founded conception of modern science. The views advanced are not only novel, but they constitute an alternative that is superior to both the empiric-analytic and the sociology of knowledge approaches that are prevalent today. Furthermore, the book provides a resolution of the long-standing debate between empiricism and realism, and it gives a coherent view that transcends the boundaries of the professional philosophy of science.
