Adolf Grnbaum is one of the giants of 20th century philosophy of science. This volume is the first of three collecting his most essential and highly influential work.The essays collected in this first volume focus on three related areas. They discuss scientific rationalitythe problem of what it takes for a theory to be called scientific, and ask whether it is plausible to draw a clear distinction between science and nonscience as was famously proposed by Karl Popper. They delve into the debate between determinism and indeterminism, in both science and in the humanities. Grnbaum defends the position of the Humane Determinist, which then leads to a thorough criticism of the current theological approaches to ethics and moralitywhere Grnbaum defends an explicit Secular Humanismas well as of prominent theistic interpretations of twentieth century physical cosmologies.The second volume is devoted to Grnbaum's writings on the Philosophy of Physics and SpaceTime, and the third to his lectures on the Philosophy of Psychology and Psychoanalysis, including his 1985 Gifford Lectures, which are to be published for the first time.
