Analysis of Prediction from the Ethics of Scientific Research. 330 $aThis monograph analyzes Nicholas Rescher?s system of pragmatic idealism. It also looks at his approach to prediction in science. Coverage highlights a prominent contribution to a central topic in the philosophy and methodology of science.  The author offers a full characterization of Rescher?s system of philosophy. She presents readers with a comprehensive philosophico-methodological analysis of this important work. Her research takes into account different thematic realms: semantic, logical, epistemological, methodological, ontological, axiological, and ethical. The book features three, thematic-parts: I) General Coordinates, Semantic Features and Logical Components of Scientific Prediction; II) Predictive Knowledge and Predictive Processes in Rescher?s Methodological Pragmatism; and III) From Reality to Values: Ontological Features, Axiological Elements, and Ethical Aspects of Scientific Prediction. This insightful analysis offers a critical reconstruction of Rescher?s philosophy. The system he created is often characterized as pragmatic idealism that is open to some realist elements. He is a prominent representative of contemporary pragmatism who has made a great deal of contributions to the study of this topic. This area is crucial for science and it has been little considered in the philosophy of science. . 410 0$aEuropean Studies in Philosophy of Science,$x2365-4228 606 $aPhilosophy and science 606 $aSociology?Research 606 $aPragmatism 606 $aResearch?Moral and ethical aspects 606 $aPhilosophy of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34000 606 $aResearch Methodology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22190 606 $aPragmatism$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E38000 606 $aResearch Ethics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E14040 615 0$aPhilosophy and science. 615 0$aSociology?Research. 615 0$aPragmatism. 615 0$aResearch?Moral and ethical aspects. 615 14$aPhilosophy of Science. 615 24$aResearch Methodology. 615 24$aPragmatism. 615 24$aResearch Ethics. 676 $a501 700 $aGuillán$b Amanda$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0938212 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255209603321 996 $aPragmatic Idealism and Scientific Prediction$92113511 997 $aUNINA
