The Philosophy of Science : An Introduction
by Stephen Toulmin
“SCIENCE and philosophy meet at innumerable points, and
are related in countless ways. The philosophy of science has,
accordingly, been taken to cover a wide variety of things,
ranging from a branch of symbolic logic to the propagation of
secularist gospels. Writing a brief introduction to such an
amorphous subject is a task of some delicacy, since, in order to
avoid being completely superficial, one is forced to limit one’s
field of attention, and so to set up landmarks where at present
none are to be found. In making my own selection, I have
particularly kept in mind the audience for which this series is
intended: the topics chosen and the manner of treatment are
primarily designed to meet the needs of University students in
philosophy, and assume no special knowledge either of
mathematics or of natural science. At the same time, I hope that
the book will have its interest for the general reader.” (Preface)
