50 philosophy of science ideas you really need to know
Southwell, Gareth2013
Book
It is the very successes of science that underline the need for philosophy. How much should we trust the pronouncements of scientists that we read in the media? What are the ethical implications of our delving into the foundations of our DNA, reproductive treatments, or artificially prolonging life? And are there limits to what science can tell us about the world we think we know? This guide explains the key philosophical questions that continue to lie at the heart of the nature and practice of science today.
