What is science? Is it uniquely equipped to deliver universal truths? Or is it
one of many disciplines - art, literature, religion - that offer different forms
of understanding? In The Meaning of Science , Tim Lewens offers a provocative
introduction to the philosophy of science, showing us for example what physics
teaches us about reality, what biology teaches us about human nature, and what
cognitive science teaches us about human freedom. Drawing on the insights of
towering figures like Karl Popper and Thomas Kuhn, Lewens shows how key
questions in science matter, often in personal, practical and political ways.
