In both cases it relies upon the adoption of operational criteria designed within the particular perspective under which any single science considers reality. The "object" so attained has a proper ontological status, dependent on the specific character of the criteria of reference (regional ontologies). This justifies a form of scientific realism. Such perspectives are also the result of a complex cultural-historical situation. The awareness of such a "historical determinacy" of science justifies including in the philosophy of science the problems of ethics of science, relations of science with metaphysics, and social dimensions of science that overstep the traditional restriction of the philosophy of science to an epistemology of science. It is to this ?context? that the second part of the book is devoted. 000697395 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed March 17, 2014). 000697395 650_0 $$aScience$$xPhilosophy. 000697395 650_0 $$aObjectivity. 000697395 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000697395 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-04660-0$$zOnline Access 000697395 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:697395$$pGLOBAL_SET 000697395 980__ $$aEBOOK 000697395 980__ $$aBIB 000697395 982__ $$aEbook 000697395 983__ $$aOnline 000697395 994__ $$a92$$bISE
