Synopsis "¿QUÉ ES ESA COSA LLAMADA CIENCIA? (in Spanish)"

Este libro que expone de manera accesible los intentos científicos modernos por destronar el pensamiento empirista se ha convertido desde su publicación en un éxito de ventas y, a la vez, en una referencia académica ineludible. Las grandes teorías de la filosofía de la ciencia del siglo pasado el falsacionismo, los paradigmas de Thomas Kuhn, el enfoque anarquista propuesto por Paul Feyerabend, los movimientos realistas y antirrealistas están explicadas con precisión y agilidad en estas páginas, que logran una estupenda revisión de la polémica contemporánea sobre la epistemología, su estatuto y sus nociones.
Esta edición, revisada y ampliada, presenta un tratamiento esclarecedor de los desarrollos más importantes ocurridos en este campo hasta el presente, sugiere guías de lectura y confirma su reputación de ser la mejor introducción a la filosofía de la ciencia, un verdadero clásico de su disciplina.

Alan F. Chalmers (born in 1939 in Bristol, England) is a British-Australian philosopher of science, known for his contribution to the critical study of epistemology and the philosophy of science. He graduated in Physics from the University of Bristol in 1961, earned his master's degree at the University of Manchester in 1964, and his PhD from the University of London in 1971, with a thesis on James Clerk Maxwell's electromagnetic theory.

In 1971, Chalmers moved to Australia as a postdoctoral fellow. He was a member of the General Philosophy Department at the University of Sydney from 1972 to 1986, and from 1986 to 1999 he was head of the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at the same university, where he is currently an honorary professor.
Wikipedia

His most influential work is What is this thing called science? (1976), a fundamental text in the philosophy of science that critically examines traditional conceptions of scientific knowledge. It is widely used as an introductory text in university courses and has been translated into more than 15 languages.

Chalmers has also published Science and its fabrication (1992), where he addresses how the objectivity of scientific knowledge can be defended without falling into ideological glorifications or radical rejections.

In recognition of his work, he was elected a member of the Australian Academy of the Humanities in 1997 and received the Australian government's Centenary Medal for his services to the humanities in the area of history and philosophy of science.
