Originally published as Scientific Research, this pair of volumes constitutes a fundamental treatise on the strategy of science. Part I of Philosophy of Science offers a preview of the scheme of science and the logical and semantical tools that will be used throughout the work. The account of scientific research begins with part II, where Bunge discusses formulating the problem to be solved, hypothesis, scientific law, and theory.

5.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable guide to the underpinnings, methods of science., March 9, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Philosophy of Science: From Problem to Theory (History of Ideas Series) (Paperback)
I am a colleague of the author and have used both this and its companion volume in my own work. The following is an excerpt from the review on the back cover:

"How are scientific theories chosen? How are they used? For many years Mario Bunge's cogent and lucid work has provided me with insights into fascinating questions like these" (Owen Gingerich, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics)
