Sensationalism and Scientific Explanation critically examines the view that scientific statements can be understood only in terms of basic 'atoms of experience' and explores whether it can provide an adequate account of science. It examines Ernst Mach's sensationalist account of science and argues for the 'inherent weakness of sensationalism.' The book will appeal to those with an interest in the history and philosophy of science.

Sensationalism and Scientific Explanation is a comprehensive exploration of the notion that scientific statements can be solely comprehended through fundamental 'atoms of experience,' often referred to as 'sensations.' The book presents contrasting perspectives on this viewpoint, delving into whether it can sufficiently capture the essence of science as we currently understand it. It examines in depth the sensationalist account of science articulated by Ernst Mach, particularly in relation to various aspects of scientific investigation and theorization. Furthermore, it presents a compelling argument against the inherent weaknesses of sensationalism. This thought-provoking book will captivate individuals with a deep interest in the history and philosophy of science.
