New York: Cambridge University Press, 1993. xii, 309 pp. Footnotes, bibliography, index. 2004 printing ("transferred to digital printing 2004"). This book is a major new contribution to decision theory, focusing on the question of when it is rational to accept scientific theories. The author examines both Bayesian decision theory and confirmation theory, refining and elaborating the views of Ramsey and Savage. He argues that the most solid foundation for confirmation theory is to be found in decision theory, and he provides a decision-theoretic derivation of principles for how many probabilities should be revised over time. The author defines a notion of accepting a hypothesis, and then shows that it is not reducible to probability and that it is needed to deal with some important questions in the philosophy of science. A Bayesian decision-theoretic account of rational acceptance is provided together with a proof of the foundations for this theory. A final chapter shows how this account can be used to cast light on such vexing issues as verisimilitude and scientific realism.. First Edition. Hardcover.

Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1998. In mint condition: shrink-wrapped in publisher's original plastic. xiv, 235 pp. Illustrations, footnotes, bibliography, index. Historians have long recognized that the rebirth of science in twelfth-century Europe flowed from a search for ancient scientific texts. The reemergence of scholarly interest after centuries of apparent stagnation seems paradoxical. This book resolves that seeming contradiction by describing four active traditions of early medieval astronomy: one divided the year by observing the Sun; another computed the date of Easter Full Moon; the third determined the time for monastic prayers by watching the course of the stars; and the classical tradition of geometrical astronomy provided a framework for the cosmos. Most of these "astronomies" were practical; they sustained the communities in which they flourished and reflected and reinforced the values of those communities. These astronomical traditions motivated the search for ancient learning that led to the Scientific Renaissance of the twelfth century. CONTENTS: PART I: The Environment for Medieval Astronomies. 1) Astronomies in cultures. 2) The heritage of astronomical practice. 3) Astronomy and Christian thought. PART II: The Cultivation of Early Medieval Astronomies. 4) Continuity and change in solar ritual. 5) Computing the central time--the date of Easter. 6) Observing the Celestial order--monastic timekeeping. 7) Astronomy in the Liberal Arts. PART III: The Harvest of Medieval Astronomies. 8) The fusion of astronomical traditions. 9) The encounter of Arabic and Latin astronomies. 10) The rebirth of Ptolemaic astronomy.. First Edition.
