ABOUT NANCY'S WORK
Nancy Cartwright focuses her study on a largely underdeveloped area: the use of science to effect change.

In her book, How the Laws of Physics Lie (1983), Cartwright challenges current trends in philosophical thought, rejecting the assumption that science is concerned with the articulation of natural laws.  Her alternative theory designates the scientific project as one in which causal capacities are discovered and quantified.  She is the author of Nature’s Capacities and Their Measurement (1989) and The Dappled World: A Study of the Boundaries of Science (1999).  She is the co-author of Otto Neurath: Philosophy Between Science and Politics (1996), in which she explores a philosophical position that, like her own, aims to use the sciences to effect change in the world.

BIOGRAPHY
Since 1991, Cartwright has been a professor of philosophy at the University of London’s School of Economics and Political Science, where she also heads the Centre for Philosophy of Natural and Social Science.  She taught previously at Stanford University (1973-91) and at the University of Maryland (1972-73).

Cartwright received a B.S. (1966) from the University of Pittsburgh, and a Ph.D. (1971) from the University of Illinois at Chicago Circle.

关于南希的工作
南希-卡特赖特将她的研究集中在一个基本没有得到充分发展的领域:利用科学来实现变革。

在她的《物理定律如何说谎》(1983年)一书中,卡特赖特对当前的哲学思想趋势提出了挑战,拒绝了科学与自然规律的阐述有关的假设。 她的替代理论将科学项目指定为发现和量化因果能力的项目。 她是《自然的能力及其测量》(1989)和《斑驳的世界》的作者。科学边界的研究》(1999)。 她是Otto Neurath的合著者。在该书中,她探讨了一种哲学立场,即像她自己一样,旨在利用科学来改变世界。

个人简历
自1991年以来,卡特赖特一直是伦敦大学经济和政治科学学院的哲学教授,她也是该学院自然和社会科学哲学中心的负责人。 她曾在斯坦福大学(1973-91)和马里兰大学(1972-73)任教。

卡特赖特在匹兹堡大学获得学士学位(1966年),并在伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校获得博士学位(1971年)。
