Science has made a huge impact on human society over hundred years,
but how does it work? How do scientists do the things they do? How
do they come up with the theories? How do they test them? How do
they use these theories to explain phenomena? How do they draw
conclusions from them about how the world might be? Now updated,
this second edition of Philosophy of Science: Key Concepts looks at
each of these questions and more. Taking in turn the fundamental
theories, processes and views lying at the heart of the philosophy
of science, this engaging introduction illuminates the scientific
practice and provides a better appreciation of how science actually
works. It features: - Chapters on discovery, evidence, verification
and falsification, realism and objectivity - Accessible overviews
of work of key thinkers such as Galileo, Einstein and Mullis - A
new chapter on explanation - An extended range of easy-to-follow
and contemporary examples to help explain more technical ideas -
Study exercises, an annotated bibliography and suggestions of Where
to Go Next Succinct and approachable, Philosophy of Science: Key
Concepts outlines some of the most central and important scientific
questions, problems and arguments without assuming prior knowledge
of philosophy. This enjoyable introduction is the perfect starting
point for anyone looking to understand how and why science has
shaped and changed our view of the world.
