In this "stunningly illuminating" (Rebecca Newberger Goldstein) investigation of science, Michael Strevens asks two fundamental questions: Why is science so powerful? And why did it take so long for the human race to start using science to learn the secrets of nature?

By willfully ignoring religion, theoretical beauty, and especially philosophy, scientists embrace an unnaturally narrow method of inquiry, channeling unprecedented energy into observation and experimentation. Rich with vivid historical examples and widely acclaimed, Knowledge Machine overturns many of our most basic assumptions about scientific discovery." |
