The progressive destruction of the received view has been a fascinating and healthy experience. At present, the period of destruction is over. A richer and more equilibrated analysis of a number of problems is possible and is being cru'ried out. In this sense, this book comes right on time. We owe a lot to the scholars of the Kuhnian period. They not only did away with obstacles, but in several respects instigated a shift in attention that changed history and philosophy of science in a irreversible way. A c1earcut example - we borrow it from the paper by Risto Hilpinen - concerns the study of science as a process, Rnd not only as a result. Moreover, they apparently reached several lasting results, e.g., concerning the tremendous impact of theoretical conceptions on empirical data. Apart from baffling people for several decades, this insight rules out an- other return to simple-minded empiricism in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45282124595351,"sku":"9789027726452","price":7345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789027726452.webp?v=1769301217","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/theory-and-experiment-recent-insights-and-new-perspectives-on-their-relation-9789027726452","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
