The Philosophy of Science
Our model for this anthology was Feigl and Brodbeck's Readings in the Philosophy
of Science (New York: Appleton-Century-Crofts, 1953), now long out of print. During
the 1950s and early 1960s, when sophisticated developments in logical positivist
philosophy of science dominated the field, Feigl and Brodbeck's anthology represented
an almost ideal collection of readings for any serious introductory philosophy of
science course for undergraduates or beginning graduate students. Its chief virtue was
that it afforded the student (and her instructor) a remarkably synoptic overview of the
literature in the philosophy of science
