Features: This book does not rigidly adhere to the traditional logicalist view of scientific rationality, nor does it hesitate to explore new approaches due to Van Fraassen's warning, "Do not add unnecessary features to science." They strive to find a new perspective to understand scientific rationality: explaining it through the collective nature of scientific activities and conducting in-depth discussions on important issues such as truth, reality, and meaning. Whether this approach to understanding rationality is effective still needs to be "collectively" tested by the broader community of scientific philosophers.
