Veronica on Petunia's Farm by Roger Duvoisin
In this accessible introduction to a popular debate, Professor Trigg faces the issues squarely and examines how far it is possible to give reasons for trusting science. In defending a realist outlook, Trigg shows that even physical science must be given metaphysical foundations. In doing so, he explains and evaluates the views of Rorty, Wittgenstein, Quine, Putnam, and Hawking, amongst others. The limits of science and rationality are explored and the power of human reason is in the end upheld.
Roger Duvoisin (1900-1980) wrote and illustrated 40 books, including those featuring Veronica, the conspicuous hippopotamus, and Petunia, the silly goose. He also illustrated more than 100 written by other authors including the Happy Lion books by his wife Louise Fatio. He received a Caldecott Medal and a Caldecott Honor and was considered one of the most distinguished illustrators of the 20th century.
