Nicholas Maxwell's provocative and highly-original philosophy of
science urges a revolution in academic inquiry affecting all
branches of learning, so that the single-minded pursuit of
knowledge is replaced with the aim of helping people realize what
is of value in life and make progress toward a more civilized
world. This volume of essays from an international,
interdisciplinary group of scholars engages Maxwell in critical
evaluation and celebrates his contribution to philosophy spanning
forty years. Several of the contributors, like Maxwell, took their
inspiration from Sir Karl Popper's philosophy of science and were
connected to the department he created at the London School of
Economics. In the introductory chapter, Maxwell provides an
overview of his thought and then defends his views against
objections in a concluding essay.
