• Resumen

  • The author notes: ��although a scientist may understand a science to the extent that he or she does science, a second level of understanding, that of understanding his or her understanding, may be absent.� Philosophy of science is about that second level of understanding. That philosophy forms the basis of how and why a scientist conducts research, and conditions the judgments a scientist forms about the value and validity of the results of that research. Peters also addresses implications for library and information science
