Challenging contemporary empiricisms, the book presents a philosophical argument that positions science within a broader metaphysical framework, focusing on nature, law, and causality. It critiques various established philosophical views through an Aristotelian lens, advocating for a realist interpretation of science. By engaging with Aristotle's original texts and subsequent interpretations, the author aims to illuminate the deeper principles underlying scientific inquiry beyond mere description and prediction.
The collection features essays by philosopher Jude Dougherty, reflecting on contemporary issues through a classical lens influenced by thinkers like Plato, Aristotle, and Thomas Aquinas. By examining historical perspectives, these writings aim to provide insightful commentary and inform readers about current challenges, bridging the gap between past philosophies and modern thought.
