  • Causal Processes and their Warrant

    In this book, Nancy Cartwright, Eileen Munro and John Pemberton introduce a new method for assessing whether plans for how to affect change produced their intended outcome, or whether they are likely to do so in the future. The method offers the prospect of a step-change improvement in the accuracy of policy assessments, based on a new pluralistic theory of causation. This theory, which goes ... Leer más

  • La scienza vista da una filosofa

    Traducido por Alessio Bucci ...
    Negli ultimi anni i toni del dibattito pubblico sul ruolo della scienza nella società contemporanea si sono inaspriti e polarizzati. Basti pensare a due eventi di portata mondiale in cui il lavoro della comunità scientifica è stato ed è tuttora, nel bene e nel male, protagonista: la pandemia di Covid-19 e la crisi climatica. Il tema centrale, insomma, è l'immagine che la società ha della scienza e ... Leer más

  • Antología sobre evaluación de impacto

    Conceptos y debates sobre causalidad, rigor y validez

    La evaluación de impacto es un tipo de estudio que permite identificar si las políticas, los programas o proyectos causaron un efecto positivo sobre la población que los recibió. Si partimos de la premisa de que las políticas públicas son instrumentales —medios para alcanzar un fin—, la evaluación de impacto es, en muchos sentidos, su prueba de fuego. Por abocarse a la realización de inferencias ... Leer más

  • Evidence-Based Policy

    A Practical Guide to Doing It Better

    Over the last twenty or so years, it has become standard to require policy makers to base their recommendations on evidence. That is now uncontroversial to the point of triviality--of course, policy should be based on the facts. But are the methods that policy makers rely on to gather and analyze evidence the right ones? In Evidence-Based Policy, Nancy Cartwright, an eminent scholar, and Jeremy ... Leer más

  • The Dappled World

    A Study of the Boundaries of Science

    It is often supposed that the spectacular successes of our modern mathematical sciences support a lofty vision of a world completely ordered by one single elegant theory. In this book Nancy Cartwright argues to the contrary. When we draw our image of the world from the way modern science works - as empiricism teaches us we should - we end up with a world where some features are precisely ordered, ... Leer más

    A New Introduction

    This is a much-needed new introduction to a field that has been transformed in recent years by exciting new subjects, ideas, and methods. It is designed both for students with central interests in philosophy and those planning to concentrate on the social sciences, and it presupposes no particular background in either domain. From the wide range of topics at the forefront of debate in philosophy ... Leer más

  • A Philosopher Looks at Science

    Series series A Philosopher Looks At
    What is science and what can it do? Nancy Cartwright here takes issue with three common images of science: that it amounts to the combination of theory and experiment; that all science is basically reducible to physics; and that science and the natural world which it pictures are deterministic. The author's innovative and thoughtful book draws on examples from the physical, life, and social ... Leer más

  • The Tangle of Science

    Reliability Beyond Method, Rigour, and Objectivity

    Science is remarkably reliable. It puts people on the moon, performs laser eye surgery, tells us about ancient civilizations and species, and predicts the future of our climate. What underwrites this reliability? This book argues that the standard answers--the scientific method, rigour, and objectivity--are insufficient for the job. Here we propose a new model of science which places its products ... Leer más

  • Rethinking Order

    After the Laws of Nature

    This book presents a radical new picture of natural order. The Newtonian idea of a cosmos ruled by universal and exceptionless laws has been superseded; replaced by a conception of nature as a realm of diverse powers, potencies, and dispositions, a 'dappled world'. There is order in nature, but it is more local, diverse, piecemeal, open, and emergent than Newton imagined.In each chapter expert ... Leer más
