Reddit reviews A Historical Introduction to the Philosophy of Science, 4th Edition

A Historical Introduction to the Philosophy of Science by John Losee looks good, but it might be too concise for a semester-long colloquium.

Personally, I would go with the Blackwell Companion to the Philosophy of Science. Check out the table of contents in the preview; it's an absolute feast.

I'm a big fan of the historical or diachronic approach to philosophy, so I would recommend a book like A Historical Introduction to the Philosophy of Science for a general introduction.

My two favorite books with direct relevance to psychological methods are Cognitive Science: A Philosophical Introduction and Measuring the Mind: Conceptual Issues in Contemporary Psychometrics.

On my own current reading list are:

• Methodological Thinking in Psychology: 60 Years Gone Astray?
  
  
• Measurement in Psychology: A Critical History of a Methodological Concept
  
  
• Philosophy of Psychology and Cognitive Science
  
  
• Handbook of Theoretical and Philosophical Psychology and
  
  
• Reconstructing Reality: Models, Mathematics, and Simulations
