Reading the Book of Nature Paperback: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Science - Softcover

"It is an excellent introduction to the philosophy of science, written in a clear and engaging style, well organized and focused, and surprisingly comprehensive in terms of the depth and detail of the themes it develops. Kosso has succeeded in making the argument accessible. There is little jargon, and what there is is explained along the way and in a helpful glossary at the back of the book." Gordon Brittan Jr., Montana State University

This is an introductory survey of the philosophy of science suitable for beginners and nonspecialists. Its point of departure is the question, Why should we believe what science tells us about the world.
