<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Scientific thinking must be understood as an activity. The acts of interpretation, representation, and explanation are the cognitive processes by which scientific thinking leads to understanding. The book explores the nature of these processes and describes how scientific thinking can only be grasped from a pragmatic perspective.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><P>In sum, The Nature of Scientific Thinking offers a wide-ranging perspective on the natural sciences. Faye presents his views in discussion with existing accounts of explanation, understanding, representation and interpretation, and illustrates his theses with many detailed examples from a variety of disciplines. <P>-Henk W. de Regt, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews <P>The book is very readable and informative and contains stimulating ideas. But the most valuable aspect is the convincing way in which the author argues in favour of a contextual-rhetorical approach to explanation. <P>-Xavier de Donato Rodriguez, Metascience <P>There is much to praise in Faye's book, especially his facility with examples from various sciences, including physics, biology, and zoology. He masterfully keeps within the parameters of his argument regarding scientific explanation without expanding his range too widely. <P>-Mark Tschaepe, Philosophy in Review"<br><br>In sum, The Nature of Scientific Thinking offers a wide-ranging perspective on the natural sciences.
