商品描述

This volume is a collection of original essays focusing on a wide range of topics in the History and Philosophy of Science. It is a festschrift for Peter Machamer, which includes contributions from scholars who, at one time or another, were his students. The essays bring together analyses of issues and debates spanning from early modern science and philosophy through the 21st century. Machamer's influence is reflected in the volume's broad range of topics. These include: underdetermination, scientific practice, scientific models, mechanistic explanation in contemporary and historical science, values in science, the relationship between philosophy and psychology, experimentation, supervenience and reductionism.

本卷是一本原創論文集,專注於科學史與科學哲學的廣泛主題。這是為彼得·馬查默(Peter Machamer)所編寫的紀念文集,包含了曾經是他學生的學者們的貢獻。這些論文匯集了從早期現代科學與哲學到21世紀的各種問題與辯論的分析。馬查默的影響在本卷的廣泛主題中得以體現。這些主題包括:不足決定性(underdetermination)、科學實踐、科學模型、當代與歷史科學中的機械解釋、科學中的價值觀、哲學與心理學之間的關係、實驗、超越性(supervenience)與還原主義(reductionism)。

作者簡介

Marcus P. Adams is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University at Albany, SUNY. His research focuses on the History of Early Modern Philosophy, especially on the work of Thomas Hobbes, and in History and Philosophy of Science generally. His research has appeared in journals such as Philosophical Studies, Synthese, The British Journal for the History of Philosophy, and History of Philosophy Quarterly. Past work has considered topics such as the nature of science for Hobbes, the relationship of Aristotelian rhetoric to dialectic and politics, and Margaret Cavendish's criticisms of Hobbes's materialism.

Zvi Biener is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Cincinnati. His research concerns the unity of science in early modernity, focusing on early-modern views regarding reduction and dependence of branches of knowledge, forms of demonstration and deduction, and the metaphysical underpinnings of the mathematical sciences, particularly Newtonian science. He also works on philosophical issues in data science.He recently edited Newton and Empiricism with Eric Schliesser (Oxford University Press, 2014) and is the author of essays in journals such as The Journal of History of Philosophy, Studies in History and Philosophy of Science, and the Southern Journal of Philosophy.

Uljana Feest is Professor of Philosophy at the Leibniz University of Hannover (Germany). In her research, she analyzes observational and experimental practices in science, with a special emphasis on the cognitive and behavioral sciences, broadly construed. She is particularly interested in the question of what constitutes scientific evidence in those fields: how it is produced, how it is interpreted, what kinds of background assumptions need to be in place in order to make inferences from empirical data to a given hypothesis, and what are criteria of adequacy for such inferences. She is in the process of finishing a project that investigates these questions within the framework of thinking about the role of operationism and operational definitions in the processes of scientific knowledge-generation. Feest takes inspirations from analyses of methodological reflections and practices of past and present science and is especially interested in debates that took place within early experimental psychology.

She works primarily in the areas of philosophy of neuroscience, philosophy of science and empirically informed philosophy of mind. She is broadly interested in the question of how the mind relates to the body. Although she regards this as an empirical question, she thinks philosophy has an important role to play in answering it. Part of that role is to understand how neuroscience works. A primary aim of her research is to provide an account of the diverse kinds of practices operative in neuroscience that is rich enough to play a positive role in improving the science and better positioning it for shedding light on the mind-body relationship. She is author of numerous articles directed at achieving this aim and her work has appeared in journals such as Philosophy of Science, Synthese and Frontiers in Human Neuroscience. She is also co-editor with Harold Kincaid of Classifying Psychopathology: Mental Kinds and Natural Kinds (MIT Press 2014).

作者簡介(中文翻譯)

**馬庫斯·P·亞當斯**是美國紐約州立大學奧爾巴尼分校的哲學助理教授。他的研究專注於早期現代哲學的歷史,特別是托馬斯·霍布斯的著作,以及科學的歷史與哲學。他的研究成果發表於《哲學研究》、《綜合》、《英國哲學史期刊》和《哲學史季刊》等期刊。過去的研究考慮了霍布斯對科學本質的看法、亞里士多德修辭學與辯證法及政治的關係,以及瑪格麗特·卡文迪許對霍布斯唯物主義的批評。

**茲維·比納**是辛辛那提大學的哲學助理教授。他的研究涉及早期現代科學的統一性,專注於早期現代對知識分支的還原與依賴、演示與推理的形式,以及數學科學的形而上學基礎,特別是牛頓科學。他還研究數據科學中的哲學問題。他最近與埃里克·施利瑟共同編輯了《牛頓與經驗主義》(牛津大學出版社,2014),並在《哲學史期刊》、《科學的歷史與哲學研究》和《南方哲學期刊》等期刊上發表過多篇文章。

**烏莉亞娜·費斯特**是德國漢諾威萊布尼茨大學的哲學教授。在她的研究中,她分析科學中的觀察與實驗實踐,特別強調廣義的認知與行為科學。她特別關心在這些領域中什麼構成科學證據的問題:這些證據是如何產生的,如何被解釋,為了從經驗數據推導出特定假設需要哪些背景假設,以及這些推導的充分性標準是什麼。她正在完成一個項目,探討在科學知識生成過程中操作主義和操作定義的角色。費斯特從過去和現在科學的方法論反思與實踐的分析中獲得靈感,並特別關心早期實驗心理學中的辯論。

**傑奎琳·沙利文**是西安大略大學哲學系的副教授,並且是羅特曼哲學研究所的成員以及腦與心智研究所的副成員。她主要研究神經科學哲學、科學哲學和以經驗為基礎的心智哲學。她廣泛關心心智與身體之間的關係問題。雖然她認為這是一個經驗性問題,但她認為哲學在回答這個問題中扮演著重要角色。這一角色的一部分是理解神經科學的運作。她研究的主要目標是提供一個足夠豐富的神經科學實踐的描述,以便在改善科學和更好地揭示心智與身體關係方面發揮積極作用。她撰寫了多篇文章以實現這一目標,並在《科學哲學》、《綜合》和《人類神經科學前沿》等期刊上發表過她的研究成果。她還與哈羅德·金凱德共同編輯了《心理病理學的分類:心理類型與自然類型》(麻省理工學院出版社,2014)。
