Description

 							
  Science has produced
explanations for everything from the mechanisms of insect navigation to the formation of black holes and the workings of
black markets. But how much can we trust science, and can we actually know the world through it? How does science work
and how does it fail? And how can the work of scientists help—or hurt—everyday people? These are not
questions that science can answer on its own. This is where philosophy of science comes in. Studying science without
philosophy is, to quote Einstein, to be “like somebody who has seen thousands of trees but has never seen a
forest.” Cambridge philosopher Tim Lewens shows us the forest. He walks us through the theories of seminal
philosophers of science Karl Popper and Thomas Kuhn and considers what science is, how far it can and should reach, and
how we can determine the nature of its truths and myths.
  
  These philosophical issues have consequences
that stretch far beyond the laboratory. For instance: What role should scientists have in policy discussions on
environmental issues such as fracking? What are the biases at play in the search for a biological function of the female
orgasm? If brain scans can be used to demonstrate that a decision was made several seconds before a person actually
makes a conscious choice, what does that tell us about the possibility of free will?
  
  By examining science
through this philosophical lens, Lewens reveals what physics can teach us about reality, what biology teaches us about
human nature, and what cognitive science teaches us about human freedom. A masterful analysis of the biggest scientific
and ethical issues of our age, The Meaning of Science forces us to confront the practical, personal, and political
purposes of science—and why it matters to all of us.
