Philosophy of Science a Unified Approach, written by Gerhard Schurz

Philosophy of Science a Unified Approach, written by Gerhard Schurz Abingdon: Routledge, 2014; paperback isbn: 9780415829366, £32.99; hardback isbn: 9780415829342, £93.00; e-book isbn: 9780203366271, from £32.99.Gerhard Schurz’s remarkable Philosophy of Science a Unified Approach is at once an introductory textbook, an exposition and defence of a modern version of logical empiricism, and an encyclopaedic resource for professional researchers and teachers of philosophy of science. I should say at once that I think it succeeds admirably in fulfilling these disparate aims.Schurz is able to ensure that his book can be used as an introductory textbook by differentiating in each chapter the introductory material from ‘complementary and advanced topics’. The latter parts are more useful for advanced students and professionals and can be skipped by those who are beginners in the philosophy of science. (This also means that the same book can be used for a more advanced course in the philosophy of science.) It should be noted that while this book can be used for teaching introductory philosophy of science, it would not be appropriate, in my view, for students very early in their philosophical careers, since it does demand a level of philosophical sophistication that philosophical neophytes will not have.
