Real Science: What It Is, And What It Means :
John Ziman
Real Science: What It Is, And What It Means : Ziman John - 1st ed., - Uk Cambridge University Press 2002 - 412p. 6 x 1.03 x 9 inches
Unlike most other similar books, this systematic, carefully reasoned, non-technical analysis of the nature and significance of scientific knowledge opens the way to reconciliation in the 'science wars'. By describing how academic scientists actually undertake research and communicate their findings, it shows that the philosophy, psychology and sociology of science are inextricably entwined, and that 'realism' and 'relativism' are just two sides of the same coin. The writing is well-informed, down-to-earth and lucid.
