In 2004 University College London launched a cross-disciplinary research programme \"Evidence, Inference and Enquiry\" to explore the question: \"Can there be an integrated multidisciplinary science of evidence?\" While this question was hotly contested and no clear final consensus emerged, much was learned on the journey. This book, based on the closing conference of the programme held at the British Academy in December 2007, illustrates the complexity of the subject, with 17 chapters written from a diversity of perspectives including Archaeology, Computer Science, Economics, Education, Health, History, Law, Psychology, Philosophy and Statistics. General issues covered include principles and systems for handling complex evidence, evidence for policy-making, and human evidence-processing, as well as the very possibility of systematising the study of evidence.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Philosophy: epistemology \u0026amp; theory of knowledge [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Philosophy: epistemology \u0026amp; theory of knowledge\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Philosophy:%20epistemology%20\u0026amp;%20theory%20of%20knowledge%20%5BHPK%5D%22\"\u003eHPK\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52254605345048,"sku":"9780197264843","price":89.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780197264843.jpg?v=1781273407","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/evidence-inference-and-enquiry-hardback-9780197264843","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
