Rezensionen

"Thinking about Science, Reflecting on Art is a remarkable collection, which opens a new and much needed conversation between the fields of aesthetics and philosophy of science. It stands out as a unique and ambitious publication for the diversity of approaches and perspectives it brings together, and for the attention it pays to the methodological issues arising from the recent interactions between these two fields. Its deliberate aim to cross the boundary between two branches of philosophy that have, so far, inhabited different academic spaces will contribute to reorient key philosophical debates in a genuinely interdisciplinary direction, and promote a collaborative methodological attitude that will shape the future of philosophy more broadly".
