Intuition and Science is a book written by philosopher and physicist Mario Bunge. The book explores the relationship between intuition and science, and argues that intuition is not a valid source of knowledge. Bunge argues that scientific knowledge is based on empirical evidence and logical reasoning, while intuition is based on personal beliefs and experiences that are not necessarily reliable. The book also discusses the limitations of science and the importance of critical thinking in scientific inquiry. Bunge makes a case for the importance of a scientific worldview in understanding the world and solving problems. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both scholars and general readers interested in the philosophy of science.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Increasingly, the religious leaders of the world are addressing problems of politi cal economy, expressing concern about the poor. But will their efforts actually help the poor? Or harm them? Much depends, Michael Novak asserts, upon what kind of institutions are constructed, that is, upon realism and practicality. His thesis may be simply stated: Although the Catholic church during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries set itself against liberalism as an ide ology, it has slowly come to admire liberal institutions such as democracy and free markets. Between the Catholic vision of social justice and liberal institu tions, Novak argues, there is a profound consonance (but not identity). First published in 1984 as Freedom with Justice, this new edition adds both a lengthy introduction carrying forward the original argument and a long concluding chapter on Pope John Paul II's controversial new encyclical of early 1988, Sollicitudo Rei Socialis.
Taking an unorthodox look at the key philosophical assumptions in the social sciences, this work contends that social scientists such as anthropologists and sociologists ought not to leave philosophy to philosophers who have little expertise in or knowledge of the social sciences.
Although politics, political theory, and political philosophy are often conflated because they interact, they actually are distinct. This book discusses about these disciplines.
This book is about some topical philosophical and methodological prob lems that arise in the study of behavior and mind, as well as in the treatment of behavioral and mental disorders.
This work defends a realist view of universals, kinds, possibilities, and dispositions, while rejecting contemporary accounts of these that are couched in terms of modal logic and 'possible worlds.'
Bunge proposes a clear definition of the concept of emergence to replace that of supervenience and clarifies the notions of system, real possibility, inverse problem, interdiscipline, and partial truth that occur in all fields.
In order to keep the book slender, whole fields of basic physical research had to be excluded - chiefly many-body physics, quantum field theories, and elementary particle theories.
The author of this book examines the thesis that social facts are as objective as physical facts, the so-called Thomas theorem that refutes the behaviorist thesis that social agents react to social stimuli, and Merton's thesis on the ethos of basic science that science and morality are intertwined.
This book discusses two of the oldest and hardest problems in both science and philosophy: What is matter?, and What is mind?
Over the past three decades, the philosophy of biology has emerged from the shadow of the philosophy of physics to become a respectable and thriving philosophical subdiscipline. They outline a unified and science-oriented philosophical framework that enables the clarification of many foundational and philosophical issues in biology.
This book surveys philosophies that have had a significant positive or negative impact on the search for truth, offering systemism and materialism as research-nurturing doctrines. Covers problems under current discussion, and points out neglected topics.
