Nicholas Rescher Collected Papers. Gesamtausgabe in 14 Bänden / Studies in Metaphysical Optimalism

For about a decade Nicholas Rescher directed the University of Pittsburgh’s Center for Philosophy of Science and he has published instructive studies in this field since the 1950’s. Some dozen of the contributions to the field are published in the present volume, and they combine to illustrate his characteristic approach of blending empirical data with philosophical theorizing.
