Continental Contributions to Philosophy of Science

REGINE KATHER

Abstract

The author reviews the book Continental Philosophy of Science, edited by Gary Gutting. Introductory remarks about the historical relationship between philosophy and science are followed by a presentation and discussion of different philosophies of science and commentaries on the eleven German and French authors whose texts are found in this volume. In addition to her assessment of Guttings’s collection, the author’s overall conclusion is that one characteristic trait of the Continental philosophy of science is its attempt to elaborate a more complete picture of the world, one that takes lived experience into consideration and examines questions excluded by the methodology and concepts of science.
