Why Does History Matter to Philosophy and the Sciences? by Lorrenz Kruger & Thomas Sturm & Wolfgang Carl
Selected Essays
What are the relationships between philosophy and the history of philosophy, the history of science and the philosophy of science? Walter de Gruyter - Why Does History Matter to Philosophy and the Sciences? This selection of essays by Lorenz Kruger (1932-1994) presents exemplary studies on the philosophy of John Locke and Immanuel Kant, on the history of physics and on the scope and limitations of scientific explanation, and a realistic understanding of science and truth. In his treatment of leading currents in 20th century philosophy, Kruger presents new and original arguments for a deeper understanding of the continuity and dynamics of the development of scientific theory. These result in significant consequences for the claim of the sciences that they understand reality in a rational manner. The case studies are complemented by fundamental thoughts on the relationship between philosophy, science, and their common history. |
