Book Description
Sixteen essays reprinted from a variety of sources discuss the pros and cons of Western scientific thought and practice. Acknowledging that traditional scientific methods can be dehumanizing, reductionist, and imperialistic, the anthology also considers Western science's strengths and the underlying assumptions and motivations behind it. Arrangement is in five parts: science and its worldview, the problem of scientific realism, the nature of scientific change, the boundaries of science, and science and values. Contributors include Martin Heidegger, Thomas Kuhn, Hilary Putnam, Evelyn Fox Keller and Max Weber. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
