Making Scientific Discoveries

Interdisciplinary Reflections. Edited by Jan G. Michel.

Scientific progress depends crucially on scientific discoveries. Yet the topic of scientific discoveries has not been central to debate in the philosophy of science. This book aims to remedy this shortcoming. Based on a broad reading of the term 'science' (similar to the German term 'Wissenschaft'), the book convenes experts from different disciplines who re ect upon several intertwined questions connected to the topic of making scientific discoveries. With contributions by Jan G. Michel, Mario Livio, Gernot Münster, Niko Strobach, Kim Boström, Michael Schmitt, Mitchell S. Green, Jörg Friedrich, Joseph G. Moore, Christian Tapp and Susanne Hahn.
