Theory and Reality - An Introduction to the Philosophy of Science, Second Edition

"How does science work? Does it tell us what the world is 'really' like? What makes it different from other ways of understanding the universe? In [this book], Peter Godfrey-Smith addresses these questions by taking the reader on a grand tour of more than a hundred years of debate. ... The result is a completely accessible introduction to the main themes of the philosophy of science"--
