Philosophy of Science by Geoffrey Gorham
The world didn't end on 10 September 2008, but the possibility may have got you thinking: was it worth the risk? What is the point of science actually? This book considers these questions and explores the social and ethical implications of science by linking them to issues facing scientists: human extinction, and extraterrestrial intelligence.“A marvellous introduction to philosophy of science … truly original, comprehensive, and above all, extremely interesting”
“An excellent and well-written contribution... which serves as a good example that clear and rigorous writing needn't always be overly dry.”
* The Review of Metaphysics *“The best introduction to the philosophy of science there is.”
Geoffrey Gorham is Chair and Professor of Philosophy at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota. His areas of specialization are the history of philosophy, metaphysics and epistemology.
