A propos de cet article

First edition, first printing of this interdisciplinary collection edited by philosopher of science Larry Laudan, examining fundamental problems of explanation, causation, evaluation, and theory formation in psychiatry and the biomedical sciences. Contributors approach psychiatry and medicine from the perspectives of philosophy of science, psychoanalysis, epistemology, and biomedical explanation. Subjects include the nature of psychoanalytic explanation, standards of scientific evaluation, causation in biomedical science, interpretation of human action, and philosophical problems surrounding psychiatric theory. Published as Volume 8 of the Pittsburgh Series in Philosophy and History of Science. 365 pages, with bibliographical references and index. The complete number line 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 confirms the first printing. Bibliographic records confirm the 1983 University of California Press edition, 365 pages, and ISBN 0-520-04623-4. Detailed Condition Very Good+ hardcover in Fair original dust jacket. Binding appears firm and square. Interior is clean and bright, with clean title and copyright pages and no writing, highlighting, or ownership markings visible in the photographs. Dust jacket shows substantial edge wear, including several tears and chips along the upper edge, wear and small losses at corners and spine ends, rubbing and surface wear, and a larger torn/chipped area at the lower rear corner. Jacket remains complete enough for display and retains strong color and legible lettering, but the edge damage warrants a Fair grade. Significance / Collector Appeal An interesting crossover title for collections in the philosophy of medicine, philosophy of science, psychiatry, psychoanalysis, and history of medical thought. Larry Laudan was an important twentieth-century philosopher of science, and this volume brings philosophical analysis directly to questions surrounding psychiatric and biomedical explanation. Contributors include prominent figures in philosophy, medicine, and psychoanalytic criticism. The first printing in its original dust jacket is considerably more desirable than an ex-library or jacketless reference copy despite the jacket wear. Shipping / Returns Carefully packed and shipped by KC Midwest Books. USPS Media Mail shipping within the United States unless otherwise requested. International shipping available at cost. Returns accepted in accordance with AbeBooks' return policy. SCI 4a.…
