Features: This book challenges both the traditional philosophy of science that views science as logic and the contemporary research that views science as power. Using distributed computing and artificial intelligence theory, Paul Thagard establishes a new model that regards scientific change as a complex system of cognitive interaction, social interaction, and physical interaction. It is highly appealing to all readers interested in the development of science and medicine. It is a specialized monograph on medical philosophy that combines an engaging style, significant research, and powerful original arguments.
