"History of Twentieth-Century Philosophy of Science" is a short history that examines the philosophies of science of Ernst Mach, Pierre Duhem, Rudolf Carnap, Willard Van Quine. Niels Bohr, Albert Einstein, Werner Heisenberg, Karl Popper, Alfred Lande, James Conant, Thomas Kuhn, Ernest Nagel, Dudley Shapere, Paul Feyerabend, Russell Hanson, Mary Hesse, David Bohm, Herbert Simon, Trygve Haavelmo, Welsey Mitchell, Max weber, Talcott Parsons, and George Lundberg. The principal thesis of the book are firstly the emergence of the contemporary pragmatism due to philosophers' reflections on the modern quantum theory, secondly the retarded condition of social science due to social scientists' fidelity to romanticism, and thirdly the newly emerging area of computerized artificial intelligence discovery systems. The three traditions of romanticism, positivism, and contemporary pragmatism are discussed in terms of four philosophy-of-science topics: the aim of science, scientific discovery and theory development, scientific criticism, and scientific explanation.

Historically, the scientific method has been said to require proposing a theory, making a prediction of something not already known, testing the prediction, and giving up the theory (or substantially changing it) if it fails the test. A theory that leads to several successful predictions is more likely to be accepted than one that only explains what is already known but not understood. This process is widely treated as the conventional method of achieving scientific progress, and was used throughout the twentieth century as the standard route to discovery and experimentation. But does science really work this way? In Making 20th Century Science, Stephen G. Brush discusses this question, as it relates to the development of science throughout the last century. Answering this question requires both a philosophically and historically scientific approach, and Brush blends the two in order to take a close look at how scientific methodology has developed. Several cases from the history of modern physical and biological science are examined, including Mendeleev's Periodic Law, Kekule's structure for benzene, the light-quantum hypothesis, quantum mechanics, chromosome theory, and natural selection. In general it is found that theories are accepted for a combination of successful predictions and better explanations of old facts. Making 20th Century Science is a large-scale historical look at the implementation of the scientific method, and how scientific theories come to be accepted.

Adolf Grünbaum is one of the giants of 20th century philosophy of science. This volume is the first of three collecting his most essential and highly influential work. The essays collected in this first volume focus on three related areas. They discuss scientific rationality-the problem of what it takes for a theory to be called scientific, and ask whether it is plausible to draw a clear distinction between science and non-science as was famously proposed by Karl Popper. They delve into the debate between determinism and indeterminism, in both science and in the humanities. Grünbaum defends the position of the Humane Determinist, which then leads to a thorough criticism of the current theological approaches to ethics and morality-where Grünbaum defends an explicit Secular Humanism-as well as of prominent theistic interpretations of twentieth century physical cosmologies. The second volume is devoted to Grünbaum's writings on the Philosophy of Physics and Space-Time, and the third to his lectures on the Philosophy of Psychology and Psychoanalysis, including his 1985 Gifford Lectures, which are to be published for the first time.
