Why Trust Science?

Post by bolo »

Why Trust Science?, a new book by Naomi Oreskes et al., is reviewed here. It looks possibly interesting. Has anyone here read it?

I've started reading it. The first chapter gets into the philosophy of science - empiricism and the problems with defining science and determining how we know something is true. It's been really thought-provoking so far.
it's okay to say "I don't know"
