This insightful book challenges readers to consider how much faith we should place in scientific claims, the possibility of truly 'objective' scientific knowledge, and what criteria define science itself. Okasha begins with a concise historical overview before exploring fundamental scientific practices such as reasoning, causation, and explanation. He critically examines scientific revolutions and the patterns of change in scientific ideas over time, contrasting realist and anti-realist perspectives. The book concludes by addressing the social and ethical philosophical questions surrounding modern science, making it an essential read for anyone interested in critical thinking and the nature of knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Samir Okasha\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oxford University Press Trade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback, 160 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780198745587\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrder from BookClub.com.mt — Malta and Gozo's online bookstore.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press Trade","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":54233746669901,"sku":"9780198745587","price":14.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/3627\/5021\/files\/Philosophy-of-Science.jpg?v=1783454645","url":"https:\/\/bookclub.com.mt\/products\/philosophy-of-science","provider":"BookClub.com.mt","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
