The book discusses methodological issues relating to the philosophy of science and the natural and social sciences. It reconstructs the methods of measurement and scientific explanation, the relation of data, phenomena and mechanisms, the problem of theory-ladenness of explanation and the problem of historic explanation. From the sciences chosen for methodological analysis are those of early classical mechanics, early thermodynamics, Bohr’s theory of atom, early quantum mechanics, research into great apes and political economy.
Igor Hanzel is a senior researcher at the Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia. His special field of interest is the methodology of natural and social sciences, theory construction, and methods of measurement.
