It retains, however, all of the logically structured, extensive coverage of earlier editions, which a review in the journal Teaching Philosophy called “the industry standard” and “essential reading.”Key Features of the Fourth Edition:Revised and rewritten for readability based on feedback from student and instructor surveys.Updated text on the problem of underdetermination, social science, and the realism/antirealism debate.Improved continuity between chapters.Revised and updated Study Questions and annotated Suggested Readings at the end of each chapter.Updated Bibliography.For a list of relevant online primary sources, please visit: www.routledge.com/9781138331518.

"Sets the industry standard. This book is essential reading for any serious student of the philosophy of science. [...]Rosenberg provides a comprehensive, sophisticated presentation of the current state of the field, and yet it is clear enough to be accessible to students. Rosenberg’s text gets my highest recommendation for courses with students who are academically well prepared and motivated."W. Russ Payne, in Teaching Philosophy
