Philosophy of Science, History of Science, and Science Education

PSA: Proceedings of the Biennial Meeting of the Philosophy of Science Association, 1974
Since I have had the privilege of reading the remarks of my fellow-symposiasts before writing out my own, I should like to begin by making the briefest of comments on each of their contributions. Professor Petrie raises the Kantian-like question of how science education is possible – or, more precisely, how, if all observation is theory-laden, science ...

Intellectual history and philosophy of science

Intellectual News, 1996
Abstract These days few people are happy to be called ‘intellectual historians’. Intellectual history has indeed been in the doldrums since the 1960s.

The Relation between Philosophy of Science and History of Science

1976
