"Philosophers of science today increasingly realize that science must be philosophically explored not only in terms of the logical structure of theories and explanations but with reference to inquirers’ engagement in scientific practices. Practice-based philosophy of science needs to be better aware of the rich resources that the actual tradition of pragmatism can offer for such explorations. This collection is a promising move in that direction, demonstrating how pragmatism can help us understand the special problems arising in a wide range of scientific disciplines. It can be highly recommended not only to pragmatism scholars but also to philosophers of science of various persuasions."Sami Pihlström, University of Helsinki, Finland"This collection offers insight into a variety of ways that philosophy of science owes a debt to the pragmatist tradition. It examines the way pragmatism manifests in a variety of the special sciences and the ways that it has intersected with other philosophical approaches in the philosophy of science."Sharon Crasnow, Norco College, USA"These expertly curated essays coalesce under the umbrella of a newly energized pragmatist-oriented philosophy of science. This volume will be welcomed by those who are uneasy with the primacy-of-theory approaches embraced by analytical philosophy, and who view science more broadly in terms of multi-dimensional practices. Excellent introductory materials provide the background and chart the course for this 'practical turn'.”Larry A. Hickman, Former Director, Center for Dewey Studies, Southern Illinois University Carbondale
