@conjugateprior @hasmis I read a bunch of Hempel when I was working on the book, and liked a lot about his take on science. That cover is dope.

@psmaldino @conjugateprior My sister is a classics professor, and she has lovely books. I can't get past the first page, and I thought I was pretty good with the language. :)

@hasmis @psmaldino The Hempel cover is 1966 - peak 60s design, imho.

Alas this one is scribbled on but I have a pristine version of Quine's Philosophy of Logic in the same series someplace.

@conjugateprior @psmaldino Does he say anything about the Scientific Method? I find that all the ‘philosophers’ like just to assemble chosen data points and ramble. Perhaps I am being too generalized about philosophers, being an engineer, after all. My bad. :)

@psmaldino @hasmis apropos, I can also strongly recommend Hacking's Representing and Intervening for a solid engagement with actual scientific practice.
