Recenzii
'The book consists of ten chapters, each of which segues clearly into the next...There are four Study Exercises which probe students' understanding of the material and challenge them to think about further issues associated with the material. These questions could serve as a starting point for a classroom discussion, or even as potential topics for student essays...French takes a conversational and light-hearted tone, so that the prose is more engaging for non-scholars than many other introductions to philosophy of science...For graduate students in other philosophical fields, this text could prove useful as a quick introduction to or refresher for some core ideas in philosophy of science.' Holly Andersen, University of Pittsburgh, Metascience
"In this volume, the author provides a succinct and approachable introduction to the field of philosophy of science. The book is written without assuming its readers have any philosophical training. Its style is casual, with plenty of examples and humor yet, importantly, Science gets across the technical details of some of the most central and influential philosophical positions, concepts, and arguments of the field. Because it is both short and extremely easy to read, this volume provides ideal supplementary material for those engaging the primary textbooks of this field for the first time. I have used it more than once for an introductory course in the philosophy of science, and it has worked well in this role. For my students, this book made for a welcome and helpful contrast to those volumes in terms of tone and approachability. Although other more cumbersome textbooks force instructors to structure their courses in a certain way, French's publication instead complements a course structured by primary works. In short, Science is an admirably concise and accessible basic introduction to the philosophy of science, one which enables its readers to go on to tackle more esoteric and dense primary philosophical textbooks."
