"What are scientists really trying to prove anyway? An
Introduction to the Philosophy of Science seeks to examine the
very fundamental nature of science. In a way, it is the science of
science. Filled with classical philosophical questions about
science and how human ideas and thoughts concerning science have
changed through the years, to the constant raging debates of today,
An Introduction to the Philosophy of Science provides as
much insight into science as philosophy can bring. A riveting and
educational read, highly recommended."
Midwest Book Review
"Lisa Bortolotti's An Introduction to the Philosophy of
Science is clearly written and structured and the many
exercises interspersed in the text will be very useful for teachers
and students wanting to test what has been learned. The chapter on
ethics is a welcome addition to standard topics such as
demarcation, confirmation and realism."
James Ladyman, University of Bristol
