Επιστήμη και Αλήθεια: Δοκίμια στη Φιλοσοφία της Επιστήμης, Εκδόσεις Οκτώ
Science and Truth: Essays in the Philosophy of Science, Okto Publishers
The Routledge Companion to the Philosophy of Science (with Martin Curd), Routledge 2008; second revised edition forthcoming in 2012
Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2008
From the reviews:
Psillos (Scientific Realism) and Curd (Principles of Reasoning) have amassed essays by 58 internationally dispersed integrative science and philosophy scholars. Divided into four parts, the book's multipage essays discuss historical and philosophical contexts, explain debates surrounding various isms, unpack broad philoscientific concepts like causation, and survey individual areas that employ scientific approaches, including economics and mathematics. While filled with allusions and field-specific language not accessible to uninitiated readers, the essays illuminate more abstruse philosophical tracts and make carefully measured connections between the higher realms of science and the actual world. Highly recommended for history of science and philosophy collections. LIBRARY JOURNAL, AUGUST 2008.
‘With a distinguished list of internationally renowned contributors, an excellent choice of topics in the field, and well-written, well-edited essays throughout, this compendium is an excellent resource. It will work well for any serious scholar inside or outside the field interested in the current state of philosophy of science. Highly recommended.' - CHOICE, Sept. 2008
