Mario Bunge: A Centenary Festschrift
暫譯: 馬里奧·邦吉：百年紀念文集

本卷包含41章，旨在紀念馬里奧·邦吉（Mario Bunge）百歲誕辰。它慶祝這位影響深遠的阿根廷/加拿大物理學家和哲學家的工作。各篇貢獻展示了邦吉以科學為基礎的哲學及其系統性解決哲學問題的方法的價值。

這些章節探討了邦吉在形而上學、方法論與科學哲學、數學哲學、物理哲學、心理學哲學、社會科學哲學、生物學哲學、技術哲學、道德哲學、社會與政治哲學、醫學哲學及教育等領域的廣泛貢獻。貢獻者來自16個國家。

邦吉將本體論現實主義與認識論的可錯性結合在一起。他認為科學提供了對自然和社會世界最佳且最有根據的知識，而這種知識是道德決策和社會及政治改革的唯一可靠基礎。邦吉主張知識的統一。在他看來，科學與哲學構成了一種富有成效且必要的夥伴關係。讀者將會發現這種方法的智慧，並深入了解跨學科學術研究的實用性。本選集將吸引科學哲學、社會科學及人文教育課程的研究者、學生和教師。
