Yorick's World Science and the Knowing Subject

"These essays are the work of a genial, literate mind exploring a wide range of issues mainly centered on the philosophy of science and epistemology, but including considerations of literature, language, and social practice. Caws's work, in general, represents an independent and alternative current in the philosophy of science, one which is informed by a broader conception of scientific thought and activity than are the usual approaches of either the traditional logical-empiricists or the more recent post-positivists. And he has a knack for deflating the latest fashionable claims early in the game, even before fashion has set in."--Marx Wartofsky, Editor,The Philosophical ForumCaws, Peter is the author of 'Yorick's World Science and the Knowing Subject', published 1993 under ISBN 9780520079199 and ISBN 0520079191.
