ABOUT BOOK

This edited collection is the first of its kind to explore the view called ~perspectivism in the philosophy of science. The book brings together an ~array of essays that reflect on the methodological promises and scientific ~challenges of perspectivism in a variety of fields such as physics, biology, ~cognitive neuroscience, and cancer research, just for a few examples. What ~are the advantages of using a plurality of perspectives in a given scientific field ~and for interdisciplinary research? Can different perspectives be integrated? ~What is the relation between perspectivism, pluralism, and pragmatism? ~These ten new essays by top scholars in the field offer a kaleidoscopic ~journey toward understanding the view called “perspectivism” and its ~relevance to science.
