Peter Godfrey-Smith is an associate professor of philosophy and of history and philosophy of science at Stanford University. He is the author of Complexity and the Function of Mind in Nature.
"While addressing important issues (such as the difference between
logical positivism and logical empiricism), Godfrey-Smith displays
consistent clarity. It is truly refreshing to read a text that is
thorough, clear, and penetrating. Students with little or no
background in philosophy or philosophy of science will find this
book to be extremely worthwhile. Professionals in other fields and
other disciplines will appreciate the breadth and depth. . .
.Whether you teach philosophy of science, or whether you are simple
interested in issues relating science, philosophy, history, and
other fields, I am confident that you'll find Theory and Reality an
accessible and rewarding read."--James Sage, Metapsychology
