Zusammenfassung: | This volume collects Adolf Grünbaum's most discussed essays on scientific rationality. It covers the problem of what it takes for a theory to be called scientific and asks whether it is plausible to draw a clear distinction between science and non-science. It also delves into the debate between determinism and indeterminism both in science and in the humanities, and defends the position of the human determinist. This then leads to a thorough criticism of the current theological approaches to ethics and morality, where Grünbaum defends an explicit secular humanism, as well as to a detailed critique of the prominent theistic interpretations of twentieth century physical cosmologies. |

A New Critique of Theological Interpretations of Physical Cosmology (2000) -- 10. Pseudo-Creation of the Big Bang (1990) -- Bibliography -- Index -- A -- B -- C -- D -- E -- F -- G HI -- J -- K -- L -- M -- N -- O -- P -- Q -- R -- S -- T -- U -- V -- W -- Z This volume collects Adolf Grünbaum's most discussed essays on scientific rationality. It covers the problem of what it takes for a theory to be called scientific and asks whether it is plausible to draw a clear distinction between science and non-science. It also delves into the debate between determinism and indeterminism both in science and in the humanities, and defends the position of the human determinist. This then leads to a thorough criticism of the current theological approaches to ethics and morality, where Grünbaum defends an explicit secular humanism, as well as to a detailed critique of the prominent theistic interpretations of twentieth century physical cosmologies.
