Salmon's book remains one of the clearest introductions to these fundamental problems in the philosophy of science. With this work, Salmon presented a coherent vision of the nature of scientific reasoning, explored the philosophical underpinnings of scientific investigation, and introduced readers to key movements in epistemology and to leading philosophers of the twentieth century, developing his own distinctive views on topics that are still of central importance today. This anniversary edition features an introduction by Christopher Hitchcock, which examines the book's origins, influences, and major themes, its impact and enduring effects, and the disputes it raised, and revisits Salmon's ideas for a new audience of philosophers, historians, scientists, and students."|c--back cover. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Science|xPhilosophy.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85118582 650 0 Induction (Mathematics)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85065806 650 0 Probabilities.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85107090 650 0 Inference.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85066082 650 7 Science|xPhilosophy.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1108336 650 7 Induction (Mathematics)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/970742 650 7 Probabilities.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1077737 650 7 Inference.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/972355 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Hitchcock, Christopher,|d1964-|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n2003110217|ewriter of introduction. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aSalmon, Wesley C.|tFoundations of scientific inference.|bFiftieth anniversity edition. |dPittsburgh, Pa. : University of Pittsburgh Press, [2017] |z9780822964568|w(OCoLC)959265653 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1560513|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
