Priceless Knowledge?

More about the book

Exploring the economics of natural science, the book delves into the limitations imposed by financial constraints rather than theoretical boundaries. Nicholas Rescher argues that while scientific inquiry has no theoretical limits, the escalating costs of research hinder progress. He highlights the exponential resource demands associated with advancing knowledge, emphasizing a critical message for philosophers, scientists, and anyone invested in scientific exploration. This philosophical examination raises essential questions about the future of scientific discovery in a resource-constrained world.
