Conceptual Change And The Philosophy Of Science by David J. Stump
A focused examination of how scientific concepts are introduced, revised, and replaced and what those processes imply for understanding scientific rationality; the book brings together philosophical analyses of theory and concept change, considers semantic and cognitive dimensions of conceptual revision, addresses debates over incommensurability, realism, and the criteria for theory choice, and relates historical case studies and psychological findings to questions about methodology, evidence, and the evaluation of scientific progress.
