Summary:
What are the relationships between philosophy and the history of philosophy, the history of science and the philosophy of science? This selection of essays by Lorenz Krüger (1932-1994) presents exemplary studies on the philosophy of John Locke and Immanuel Kant, on the history of physics and on the scope and limitations of scientific explanation, and a realistic understanding of science and truth. In his treatment of leading currents in 20th century philosophy, Krüger presents new and original arguments for a deeper understanding of the continuity and dynamics of the development of scientific theory. These result in significant consequences for the claim of the sciences that they understand reality in a rational manner. The case studies are complemented by fundamental thoughts on the relationship between philosophy, science, and their common history.
Wie sind Philosophie und Philosophiegeschichte, Wissenschaftsgeschichte und Wissenschaftstheorie aufeinander bezogen? Diese Auswahl von Essays von Lorenz Krüger (1932-1994) präsentiert exemplarische Studien zur Philosophie John Lockes und Immanuel Kants, zur Geschichte der Physik, sowie zu den Möglichkeiten und Grenzen wissenschaftlicher Erklärung und einer realistischen Auffassung von Wissenschaft und Wahrheit. In Auseinandersetzung mit führenden philosophischen Richtungen des 20. Jahrhunderts präsentiert Krüger neue und originelle Argumente für ein vertieftes Verständnis von Kontinuität und Dynamik wissenschaftlicher Theorieentwicklung. Daraus ergeben sich bedeutsame Konsequenzen für den Anspruch der Wissenschaften, die Wirklichkeit auf rationale Weise zu verstehen. Die Fallstudien werden ergänzt durch grundsätzliche Überlegungen zum Verhältnis zwischen der Philosophie, den Wissenschaften und ihrer gemeinsamen Geschichte.
