What is science? Is there a real difference between science and myth? Is science objective? Can science explain everything? This Very Short Introduction provides a concise overview of the main themes of contemporary philosophy of science. Beginning with a short history of science to set the scene, Samir Okasha goes on to investigate the nature of scientific reasoning, scientific explanation, revolutions in science, and theories such as realism and anti-realism. He also looks at philosophical issues in particular sciences, including the problem of classification in biology, and the nature of space and time in physics. The final chapter touches on the conflicts between science and religion, and explores whether science is ultimately a good thing.

书是好书，交叉学科的一点意思，不过看得出来两门学科都涉及的很浅，毕竟是作为一本通俗读物的定位。因为哲学和科学在部分人（比如我）其实是绝大部分人的视野里总有矛盾点。通过一些例子作者讲出了我的困惑，有一些问题提的也很有意思很有代表性，为什么xxx会是这个样子，譬如...

What is science? Do we have faith in the inferences that science uses to draw conclusions? What is the interpretation of probability? What exactly is science explanation, based on covering law or causality? Is scientific knowledge limited by our powers of observation?
评分在多大看完的.平時關注實驗和數據比較多,所以裏麵討論太過理論的部分並沒有觸動我.印象比較深刻的算是最後部分討論科學和宗教的.
评分some of it fun
评分學校推薦給像我這樣layman的休閑入門讀物，期待作者講Philosophy of Biology
