“什么是科学?科学与神话之间是否存在真正的界限?科学是客观的吗?科学能解释一切吗?这本 Very Short Introduction 简明扼要地概述了当代科学哲学的主要议题。Samir Okasha 以一段短小的科学史作为开篇铺垫,进而探讨了科学推理的本质、科学解释、科学革命,以及诸如实在论与反实在论等理论。他还审视了各门具体科学中的哲学问题,包括生物学中的分类问题,以及科学的本质

……外行人会以为和一个星系相当。虽然这从字面意思上看并非事实,但这句引言的核心观点或许依然站得住脚。研究科学真正工具的学科并不是科学本身,而是科学哲学(Philosophy of Science)。事情本不该是这样的,而且直到近代之前也确实不是。哲学和科学曾经浑然一体,但大约一百年前它们分道扬镳了,在我看来,这对两者都造成了巨大的伤害。
…with a galaxy, thinks the layman. While this turns out to be literally false, the point of the quote may still stand. The discipline that studies the real tools of Science is not Science itself, but the Philosophy of Science. This shouldn't be like this, and it wasn't until lately. Philosophy and Science used to be one and the same, but around a hundred years ago they separated, and this hurt both tremendously, in my opinion.
