More about the book
The textbook explores fundamental issues in the philosophy of science, structured into two main parts. The first part examines knowledge and values, discussing the classical conception of knowledge, objectivity, and the moral responsibilities of scientists. The second part contrasts two views of scientific progress: Karl Popper's perspective of rejecting old theories versus Pierre Duhem's idea of accumulating knowledge. The concluding chapter defends scientific realism, arguing for the literal truth of modern scientific theories despite historical criticisms.
