A Refutation of Positivism in Philosophy of Mind Taylor & Francis Ltd

This book argues that positivism, though now the dominant paradigm for both the natural and the human sciences, is intrinsically unfit for the latter.

In many places readers might misunderstand me and think that I am conceiving here an apology for s...
