Synopsis

Adopting a transcendental approach, the book addresses debates on "scientific objectivity" within the contemporary philosophy of science.

The author explores the multifaceted meanings and ongoing debates surrounding objectivity and introduces publicity as a necessary condition for scientific knowledge. In addition, he discusses the various ways in which scientific claims can be considered objective. The author highlights its role in ensuring the essential conditions for communication and mutual understanding that are central to scientific practice. Through an analysis of intersubjectivity in Hermann Weyl’s spacetime theory, the book provides an application of this framework, illustrating how objectivity emerges through shared rational engagement. By integrating these arguments, the book offers a profound reexamination of scientific knowledge, objectivity, and the social dimensions of rational inquiry.

This book will appeal to students and scholars of the philosophy, ethics, and sociology of science.
