Overview

Wissenschaft bezeichnet die systematische Form menschlicher Erkenntnissuche. Sie hat das Ziel, beobachtete Tatsachen zu erklären und neue Tatsachen zu entdecken. Theorien und Modelle sind Mittel dieses Ziel zu erreichen. Das Buch beleuchtet an Beispielen aus verschiedenen Natur- und Geisteswissenschaften, wie theoretische Annahmen und Begriffe Erklärungen und Entdeckungen ermöglichen und dadurch Wissenschaft gegenüber Alltagswissen auszeichnen.

Reviews

""Bartels' excellent book is highly recommended to anyone with an interest in the prime question of what science is and in what sense it is uncontested by or even superior to other knowledge endeavours. I would also inflict the book as a necessary read on whomever doubts the systematic relevance of scientific discovery or has so far built up her (epistemological) understanding of science without a systematic appreciation for how science develops and gets developed. Due to its self-contained form, it can (and should very much) be used from intermediate undergraduate classes onwards, even for students without much prior immersion in the philosophy of science."" Niels Linnemann in: Journal for General Philosophy of Science 2024/55
