The Disorder of Things : Metaphysical Foundations of the Disunity of Science

幾千年來，哲學家和科學家的偉大夢想是使我們對事物的順序有一個完整的了解。在科學統一的思想中，已經發現了本世紀這種夢想強有力的表達。約翰·杜普雷（John Dupre）通過這份宣言，通過展示其基本假設與科學本身主要結論不一致的方式，系統地攻擊了科學統一的理想。取而代之的是，作者給了我們形而上學與科學告訴我們有關的世界信息相一致。這本引人入勝的著作優雅而引人注目，對所有哲學家和科學者來說都是重要的閱讀讀物。

The great dream of philosophers and scientists for millennia has been to give us a complete account of the order of things. A powerful articulation of such a dream in this century has been found in the idea of a unity of science. With this manifesto, John Dupre systematically attacks the ideal of scientific unity by showing how its underlying assumptions are at odds with the central conclusions of science itself. In its stead, the author gives us a metaphysics much more in keeping with what science tells us about the world. Elegantly written and compellingly argued, this provocative book will be important reading for all philosophers and scholars of science.
