Philosophy of science puts science itself under the microscope:
What exactly is science? How do its explanations of the world
differ from those of other subjects, including so-called
"pseudo-sciences"? How should we understand and evaluate scientific
methods? What, if anything, can science tell us about the nature of
physical reality? Dean Rickles guides beginners through the central
topics in philosophy of science. He looks at the origins and
evolution of the field, the issues that arise when distinguishing
between science and non-science, the concepts of logic and
associated problems, scientific realism and anti-realism, and the
nature of scientific models and representing. Rickles brings the
subject to sparkling life with a user-friendly tone and rich,
real-world examples. What is Philosophy of Science? is the
must-have primer for students getting to grips with this
broad-ranging and important topic.
