This book deals with theoretical, practical and historical aspects of science and research. Its analyses and constructions are explicitly intended as philosophical contributions, not only in the sense implied by the established term philosophy of science, but also in the sense of a reflection on science that, alongside more technical aspects of methodologies and elements of theories, also has an eye for anthropological and cultural dimensions.

Applying models usually employed for the philosophical interpretation of theories in the natural sciences to psychological theories, this investigates the adequacy and implications of cognitive science, and the relation between the mental states assumed in scientific and in folk psychology.
