"This is everything that one looks for in a companion and much
more. It covers the field fully, fairly, and concisely. The entries
are well written and truly informative, with excellent guides to
further reading. No one interested in the nature of science can
afford to be without this volume." Michael Ruse, University of
Guelph
"This Companion provides an impressive overview of the imposing
geography in philosophy of science." Roy Sorensen, Dartmouth
College
"This is an important reference work in the area." F. Wilson,
University of Toronto
"Companion to the Philosophy of Science is an ambitious
project given the rapid growth and specialisation of science in the
past 50 years. The essays are naturally short but sweet,
wide-ranging, mostly well referenced, and serve as excellent
aperitifs. The book has many distinguished contributors.
Companion to the Philosophy of Science is a delightful and
clear book. It is highly recommended for critical undergraduate
students and anyone with wide intellectual interests." Ray Scott
Percival, THES, 6th April 2001
"This is an excellent volume to which anyone working in the
field of philosophy of science will want to have access. The
entries are of a high standard, and give expression to a
considerable range of philosophical opinions - so there is both
information and food for thought to be obtained from perusal of
them." Graham Oppy, Monash University, Australasian Journal of
Philosophy, Vol. 79, No. 2, June 2001
"This is a valuable resource for anyone who is interested in the philosophy of science, with up-to-date articles written by well-known philosophers reflecting the full range of issues and thinkers of concern to the contemporary discipline." The Journal of the Society for the History of Alchemy & Chemistry, Vol. 50, March 2003
