I just started to read the introduction of What is this thing called Science on Amazon and I&#39;m very<b> </b>intrigued, I&#39;ll order it. I think I&#39;ve heard of Michael Polanyi somewhere, I&#39;ll check him out too. </p> <p>Thanks again!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archive.freecapitalists.org:443/forums/thread/89254.aspxTue, 10 Feb 2009 18:52:23 GMT944abf2b-d1be-4bf2-990d-438cb0e377e9:89254Jon Irenicus0https://archive.freecapitalists.org:443/forums/thread/89254.aspxhttps://archive.freecapitalists.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=27&PostID=89254<p><i>What is this thing called Science? </i>by Alan Chalmers is good. I&#39;d also look into Michael Polanyi&#39;s works, however old they might be. Not much has really changed in the landscape since then.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archive.freecapitalists.org:443/forums/thread/89252.aspxTue, 10 Feb 2009 18:49:20 GMT944abf2b-d1be-4bf2-990d-438cb0e377e9:89252thebob0https://archive.freecapitalists.org:443/forums/thread/89252.aspxhttps://archive.freecapitalists.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=27&PostID=89252<p>I want to update myself on the philosophy of science (and knowledge). What I&#39;m looking for are conscise works of famous philosophers that give the mainstream views that can be encounterted today. But thats just the optimum. Any good written and argued article or book will suffice. </p> <p>People I&#39;m aware of and interested in are Popper, Kuhn, Putnam and Quine.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
