@psmaldino Oh, that's a nice cover!
@hasmis @psmaldino Very strong Prentice Hall Foundations of Philosophy vibe
@conjugateprior @hasmis I read a bunch of Hempel when I was working on the book, and liked a lot about his take on science. That cover is dope.
@psmaldino @conjugateprior My sister is a classics professor, and she has lovely books. I can't get past the first page, and I thought I was pretty good with the language. :)
@conjugateprior @psmaldino Does he say anything about the Scientific Method? I find that all the 'philosophers' like just to assemble chosen data points and ramble. Perhaps I am being too generalized about philosophers, being an engineer, after all. My bad. :)
@hasmis @conjugateprior The good philosophers of science are worth engaging with. Here you go. https://conservancy.umn.edu/handle/11299/184647
@psmaldino @hasmis apropos, I can also strongly recommend Hacking's Representing and Intervening for a solid engagement with actual scientific practice.
@hasmis @psmaldino The Hempel cover is 1966 - peak 60s design, imho.
Alas this one is scribbled on but I have a pristine version of Quine's Philosophy of Logic in the same series someplace.
