SUMMARY
Summary "This is a brilliantly clear introduction (and indeed reframing) of the history and philosophy of science in terms of worldviews and their elements . In addition, the book is incredibly well–informed from both a scientific and philosophical angle. Highly recommended."<br/>Scientific and Medical Network<br/><br/>"Unlike many other introductions to philosophy of science, DeWitt′s book is at once historically informative and philosophically thorough and rigorous. Chapter notes, suggested readings, and references enhance its value."<br/>Choice<br/><br/>"Written in clear and comprehensible prose and supplemented by effective diagrams and examples, Worldviews is an ideal text for anyone new to the history and philosophy of science. As the reader will come to find out, DeWitt is a gifted writer with the unique ability to break down complex and technical concepts into digestible parts, making Worldviews a welcoming and not overwhelming book for the introductory reader."
