Logic, Epistemology, and the Unity of Science aims to reconsider the question of the
unity of science in light of recent developments in logic. At present, no single logical,
semantical or methodological framework dominates the philosophy of science. However,
the editors of this series believe that formal techniques like, for example, independence
friendly logic, dialogical logics, multimodal logics, game theoretic semantics and linear
logics, have the potential to cast new light on basic issues in the discussion of the unity
of science.
This series provides a venue where philosophers and logicians can apply specific
technical insights to fundamental philosophical problems. While the series is open to
a wide variety of perspectives, including the study and analysis of argumentation and
the critical discussion of the relationship between logic and the philosophy of science,
the aim is to provide an integrated picture of the scientific enterprise in all its diversity.
