"Continental philosophers in Britain and the United States
have for the most part ignored the enormous contribution of
continental philosophy to the philosophy of science, just as
philosophers of science in Britain and the United States have done.
Gary Gutting has long been a leading exponent of the importance of
this contribution and his superb collection, with its many new
translations, should go a long way toward turning the tide."
Robert Bernasconi, University of Memphis
"This masterful collection of original texts and expert
commentary demonstrates Continental philosophers' rich and
diverse engagement with science, dispelling the notion that
significant philosophical thinking about science is the sole
prerogative of 'analytic' philosophers."
Daniel Dahlstrom, Boston University
"This book makes a welcome contribution to the secondary
literature on the history and philosophy of modern science. Gary
Gutting has assembled an impressive gallery of essays, which
collectively advance a powerful, if relatively neglected,
interpretation of the development of scientific method and
practice. The pairing of influential historical figures with
leading contemporary commentators is especially valuable."
