Scientific Rationality, the Human Condition, and 20th Century Cosmologies
This volume is a collection of Adolf Grunbaum'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 as was famously proposed by Karl Popper. 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, which then leads to a thorough criticism of the current theological approaches to ethics and morality, where Grunbaum defends an explicit Secular Humanism, as well as of the prominent theistic interpretations of twentieth century physical cosmologies.
