Description
What makes science so potent? Why did it take the human race so long to begin utilising science to unlock the mysteries of the cosmos—two thousand years after the development of philosophy and mathematics—? Leading philosopher of science Michael Strevens provides groundbreaking answers to these difficult questions in a work that combines science, philosophy, and history. He demonstrates how science only emerged after thinkers had the startling realisation that breaking the rules of logical argument could lead to scientific discoveries. The Knowledge Machine wrestles with the meaning and origins of science, much like classic works like Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions and Karl Popper's The Logic of Scientific Discovery. It uses a wealth of compelling historical examples to show that scientists willfully ignore religion, among other topics.
