by Evandro Agazzi ...

The Practical Turn in Philosophy of Science

by AA. VV. ...

After Gödel’s results the limitations of the three principal “foundational schools” became more and more evident, while the “working scientists” continued their activity caring more for the acquisition of “results” than for logical rigor.
