Scientific laws and the limits of knowing
Alexander Bird’s introduction connects two central questions in the philosophy of science: what scientific laws are, and how we can know them. Its scope pairs conceptual analysis with epistemological problems, giving the book a clear emphasis on the relationship between scientific ideas and the grounds for accepting them. The 313-page volume offers a structured entry point into these questions and the broader philosophical problems they raise.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Readers beginning to study the philosophy of science
- Those interested in scientific laws and how scientific knowledge is justified
- Students seeking an introduction that joins conceptual and epistemological questions
