Introducing Philosophy of Science A Graphic Guide

" ... Science is everywhere. It has allowed us to reach outer space, to discover the key to human evolution, and to cure diseases that ravaged populations only decades ago. Science also threatens us with the risks of nuclear holocaust, eugenics and environmental pollution. How do we reconcile the advantages of science with its perils? [This book] explores this question and many more. It reveals how science itself, as well as our approach to studying it, has changed radiclly over the last few decades, and in particular examines the development of science studies from its origins to the ideas of Thomas Kuhn, Karl Popper, Paul Feyerabend and others."--Back cover.
