Science at the Frontiers: Perspectives on the History and Philosophy of Science brings new voices to the study of the history and philosophy of science. It supplements current literature on the history and philosophy of science, which is often focused on the philosophy of physics, by highlighting sciences that are overlooked by the current literature and by viewing classic problems in the field from new perspectives. William H. Krieger, himself an archaeologist and philosopher of science, brings together scientists, philosophers of science, and historians of science to write on the lessons that the field stands to learn from case studies in such disciplines as archaeology, medicine, biology, and others. These essays answer many of the questions that have resisted solution in the classical canon while raising new questions born out of new perspectives on the history and philosophy of science. Those studying the philosophy and history of science and those who are already practicing scientists, philosophers of science, and historians of science will gain a great deal from these essays.
William H. Krieger is professor of philosophy at the University of Rhode Island.
