Title: Apparently, a healthier philosophy of science
Review: If you're going to conduct research tomorrow and need a "how-to" book, there might be better choices. A more accurate title could be: "A Healthier Philosophy of Science; Making Mincemeat out of Popper, Lakatos, Kuhn and Feyerabend".I really enjoyed the book, although I'm "Math-Impaired" so I can't judge the more technical sections. Aspiring scientists should read it once, I think.The only serious shortcoming is when he says: "Science rests on faith", p. 152, because of the bad influence of Thomas Reid. A more appropriate epistemological foundation would be "Thonnard, F.-J., Précis de philosophie, Paris, Desclée, 1950" (sorry, out of print, but I want to translate it and put it on my website, God willing).For more info, Google my name.
