Fact and Method: Explanation, Confirmation, and Reality in the Natural and the Social Sciences

In this bold work of broad scope and rich erudition, Richard W. Miller sets out to reorient the philosophy of science. By questioning both positivism and its leading critics, he develops new solutions to the most urgent problems about justification, explanation and truth. Using a wealth of examples from the the natural and the social sciences, "Fact and Method" applies the new account of scientific reason to specific questions of method in virtually every field of inquiry including biology, physics, history, sociology, anthropology, economics, psychology and literary theory.Miller, Richard W. is the author of 'Fact and Method: Explanation, Confirmation, and Reality in the Natural and the Social Sciences' with ISBN 9780691073187 and ISBN 069107318X.
