I'm interested in deepening my knowledge about the philosophy of science.
I'm now a real full time researcher and I find it shameful that I know so little about science.
I have read Popper and Khun.
Do you have advices on what else I should read?

@zillion
Thanks, I'll take a look
Any book in particular?

@rastinza Feyerabend, Against Method. Truesdell, A Tragicomical History of Thermodynamics. Harding, The Science Question in Feminism.
Hempel, Aspects of Scientific Explanation and other Essays in the Philosophy of Science.

@rastinza I read a lot of Nelson Goodman. He creates a symbol theory that takes into account both art and science. See e.g. "Ways of Worldmaking" which is also available from the Internet Archive: archive.org/details/GoodmanWay

@rastinza
I would suggest to add Nicholas Maxwell to the list:

E.g. his "What's Wrong With Science?"
