Good Science the Pursuit of Tpb

Good Science revisits the key debates of the Science Wars and argues that the pursuit of scientific truth has, more than any other human endeavor, routinely revolutionized the fabric of social reality - for the better. What's more, Good Science asserts that the quest for truth offers the best way to surmount global social crises and create an entirely new (but never problem-free) future for humanity.
