This is a scan of an essay written by Richard Hammersley as part of his Philosophy of Science Course in 2nd year at University of Edinburgh in 1974. His tutor who marked it is Roy Bhaskar, well known Critical Realist. Richard’s mother found this about 2004 and gave it back to Richard. He thinks it is of mild historical interest as a specimen of essay writing in the days of pen and paper. Perhaps it is still an example of good practice - Roy gave it 70%. Richard notes he rather liked philosophy because it was possible to write an essay simply by reading the relevant book and discussing it, rather than having to put in lots of references.
