How does science work? Does it tell us what the world is "really"
like? What makes it different from other ways of understanding the
universe? In Theory and Reality, Peter Godfrey-Smith addresses
these questions by taking the reader on a grand tour of more than a
hundred years of debate about science. The result is a completely
accessible introduction to the main themes of the philosophy of
science. Examples and asides engage the beginning student, a
glossary of terms explains key concepts, and suggestions for
further reading are included at the end of each chapter. Like no
other text in this field, Theory and Reality combines a survey of
recent history of the philosophy of science with current key
debates that any beginning scholar or critical reader can follow.
The second edition is thoroughly updated and expanded by the author
with a new chapter on truth, simplicity, and models in science.
