| book description |

Norwood Russell Hanson was one of the most important philosophers of science of the post-war period. Hanson brought Wittgensteinian ordinary language philosophy to bear on the concepts of science, and his treatments of observation, discovery, and the theory-ladenness of scientific facts remain central to the philosophy of science. Additionally, Hanson was one of philosophyâ€™s great personalities, and his sense of humor and charm come through fully in the pages ofÂ Perception and Discovery. Perception and Discovery, originally published in 1969, is Hansonâ€™s posthumous textbook in philosophy of science. The book focuses on the indispensable role philosophy plays in scientific thinking.Â Perception and DiscoveryÂ features Hansonâ€™s most complete and mature account of theory-laden observation, a discussion of conceptual and logical boundaries, and a detailed treatment of the epistemological features of scientific research and scientific reasoning. This book is of interest to scholars of philosophy of science, particularly those concerned with Hansonâ€™s thought and the development of the discipline in the middle of the 20thÂ century. However, even fifty years after Hansonâ€™s early death,Â Perception and DiscoveryÂ still has a great deal to offer all readers interested in science.
