I have a bad habit. I tend to be too lenient when it comes to rating books, I鈥檓 sort of easily molded by new ideas. I鈥檓 trying to amend this. So I鈥檒l not be rating this a 5 star.
The term 鈥楶hilosophy of science鈥� might be a bit puzzling. After all, scientists don鈥檛 bother much about philosophy and undergrads of science doesn鈥檛 have to take a course in philosophy to do well science. However, there ARE some assumptions and attitudes implicit in scientific activities which scientists don鈥檛 talk much explicitly, and which falls within the realm of philosophy rather than science. For example, every objects we examined so far obey the Newton鈥檚 laws of motion. Does this rule out the possibility of existence of objects which are not subject to Newton鈥檚 laws of motion? Just because we haven鈥檛 found out one, does it mean it doesn鈥檛 exist? After all, we only investigated a tiny part of the physical world.
This book addressed some question which I鈥檝e wondered for several years, and many more ideas of which I didn鈥檛 have any clue. Is there any objective existence of the physical world independent of our mind(this I always pondered)? Does causality exist, or is it a fiction of our mind? Is there anything beyond the reach of scientific domain(The 鈥榮ubjectivity鈥� of our consciousness still seems to be fit in this model, but who can guarantee it will continue to remain so ?) It talked about realsim-anti realism and other sort of attitudes towards our observation. If we can鈥檛 directly 鈥榮ee鈥� and electron, can we legitimately talk about an electron as real entities? Or do we just invent the idea of electron to make sense of our experimental data?
I鈥檓 particularly impressed by the ideas of Thomas Kuhn鈥檚 鈥楾he structure of scientific revolutions鈥�, published in 1963. It鈥檚 arguably the most influential book in the philosophy of science, which draws its premises from analyzing the history of science. Khun regarded science as rather a 鈥榮ocial-activity鈥� practiced by scientists within the framework of a 鈥榩aradigm鈥�, which includes a traditional set of assumptions and methods of enquiry and a overall 鈥榗ulture鈥� regarding how science should be done. This paradigm are overthrown in times of 鈥榮cientific revolutions鈥�, and a new paradigm is adapted. Khun questioned whether experimental scientific data is 鈥榦bjective鈥� at all, or they are 鈥榯heory-laden鈥�? Kuhn generated quite a stir, which continues to this time. I can鈥檛 talk enough of Kuhn, there鈥檚 too much to talk.
All in all, it鈥檚 a good book. But sometimes the author tried to over-explain a rather obvious idea, which could be a bit bothering. So I鈥檓 cutting one star for talking too much.

I gave it five stars when I first read it three years ago. Now I'm giving it two only. This shows how much one can change.

A deserving 5!
I found this book, excellent. The author was well informed on the subject, knew the most controversial aspects and managed to put the most important ones in the book. also Pr. Okasha used different arguments in different fields of science in order to explain different facets of this amazing field. While the book was short, it was accurate, convincing, page-turner, enjoyable.
If I want to criticize this work, I would say that the post-script could have been more comprehensive, and an all-rounder.

The other day I was conversing with one of my roommates. After hearing that I am an agnostic, he asked me the reason behind that stand. Then he started telling me how scientific the Qur'an is. He lamented, "I am sorry that you don't see that Qur'an is the most scientific book of all time." As I was already familiar with this kind of situation, I somehow tried to veer the conversation in a different direction because I know this debate will go nowhere. When someone says Qur'an, Gita, Bible, or any other this kind of religious book is scientific, you know there is no point in arguing with him/her, as you can say he/she doesn't possess a sound amount of knowledge on how science works.
This is just a random example that depicts a somewhat sad aspect of our science education. Even someone who has a formal science education doesn't know a lot of things about the structure and the coherence of the methods scientists use to verify natural truths.
Now you can ask why there exists such a thing called 'Philosophy of Science'? And what is the job of these Philosophers? Isn't science itself enough to assess its validity? Some scientists even claim that the branch of knowledge named philosophy is dead. This kind of attitude stems from the fact that science can now answer a lot of questions, that were considered as questions of philosophical investigation in the past. So, it is not so unreasonable to believe that there will be a time when science will be able to answer all the questions about our cosmos and there will be nothing left for philosophy.
This book is a very good starting point if you want to explore this kind of questions and possibilities. The author first started with a chapter on the nature of Science. He elucidated what are the traits that a branch of Science should possess. Then there is a chapter on Scientific Inference. This is a really interesting chapter where you will confront Hume's problem of induction. Hume's Problem is quite unsettling for us as it shows a subtle gap in the method of inductive inference. The inherent premise of inductive inference is that our universe is symmetric and harmonious. But there is no reason to believe this assumption. In almost all cases, scientists use inductive inference to construct their theories. Does this mean that scientific theories are not as much trustable as we used to think? When scientists find some data from an experiment, they try to construct theory to explain this data as effectively as possible. But what if there are two opposing theories that explain the same data equally effectively. How should we choose from those two theories? In most cases, scientists prefer simple theory over the comparatively complex one. But is there any reason to believe that nature behaves in the simplest way possible?
Another fascinating thing I learned from this book is the relation between causality and correlation. For instance: when a mug falls on the floor from a table, it breaks. Is hitting the floor the reason it broke? Or it hit the floor because it broke? Or there is another phenomenon that is the cause of both incidents? Then there is a chapter on the debate between Scientific Realism and Anti-realism. A very interesting chapter indeed.
'Scientific change and scientific revolutions' is a chapter solely based on Thomas Kuhn's wacky ideas. Some of Kuhn's ideas seemed plain silly to me. But I think I should read his book before delivering any opinion. The chapter on Philosophical problems in some specific sciences was my least favorite as it seemed to me that the discussed problems are not philosophical at all. I had a sense that when these fields will be advanced enough, they will be able to answer these questions without any support from philosophy.
The author's writing style is lucid and amiable. The best thing about the writing is that he was not biased at the time of presenting different opposing doctrines(At least I wasn't able to sense any bias). He presented all those things with equal importance and played the role of just a narrator. That is why the book was somewhat enjoyable to read.
The book is very small in length(as you can get from the title). So, this is not an academic textbook. You will find everything in a very superficial way. But this is the sole purpose of these very short introduction series books. They will inflame a craving inside you to know more so that you can dive into some more sophisticated texts.

Now you can ask why there exists such a thing called 'Philosophy of Science'? And what is the job of these Philosophers? Isn't science itself enough to assess its validity? Some scientists even claim that the branch of knowledge named philosophy is dead. This kind of attitude stems from the fact that science can now answer a lot of questions, that were considered as questions of philosophical investigation in the past. So, it is not so unreasonable to believe that there will be a time when science will be able to answer all the questions about our cosmos and there will be nothing left for philosophy.
This book is a very good starting point if you want to explore this kind of questions and possibilities. The author first started with a chapter on the nature of Science. He elucidated what are the traits that a branch of Science should possess. Then there is a chapter on Scientific Inference. This is a really interesting chapter where you will confront Hume's problem of induction. Hume's Problem is quite unsettling for us as it shows a subtle gap in the method of inductive inference. The inherent premise of inductive inference is that our universe is symmetric and harmonious. But there is no reason to believe this assumption. In almost all cases, scientists use inductive inference to construct their theories. Does this mean that scientific theories are not as much trustable as we used to think? When scientists find some data from an experiment, they try to construct theory to explain this data as effectively as possible. But what if there are two opposing theories that explain the same data equally effectively. How should we choose from those two theories? In most cases, scientists prefer simple theory over the comparatively complex one. But is there any reason to believe that nature behaves in the simplest way possible?
Another fascinating thing I learned from this book is the relation between causality and correlation. For instance: when a mug falls on the floor from a table, it breaks. Is hitting the floor the reason it broke? Or it hit the floor because it broke? Or there is another phenomenon that is the cause of both incidents? Then there is a chapter on the debate between Scientific Realism and Anti-realism. A very interesting chapter indeed.
'Scientific change and scientific revolutions' is a chapter solely based on Thomas Kuhn's wacky ideas. Some of Kuhn's ideas seemed plain silly to me. But I think I should read his book before delivering any opinion. The chapter on Philosophical problems in some specific sciences was my least favorite as it seemed to me that the discussed problems are not philosophical at all. I had a sense that when these fields will be advanced enough, they will be able to answer these questions without any support from philosophy.
The author's writing style is lucid and amiable. The best thing about the writing is that he was not biased at the time of presenting different opposing doctrines(At least I wasn't able to sense any bias). He presented all those things with equal importance and played the role of just a narrator. That is why the book was somewhat enjoyable to read.
The book is very small in length(as you can get from the title). So, this is not an academic textbook. You will find everything in a very superficial way. But this is the sole purpose of these very short introduction series books. They will inflame a craving inside you to know more so that you can dive into some more sophisticated texts.

I've left this book unrated because I find it rather hard to rate non-fiction. This book is well-written and I imagine it would be very easy for someone with very little knowledge of philosophy to understand most of it - because of this, I found it a little basic and underwhelming. The book briefly covers a few key debates in the philosophy of science and I admire the author's ability to whittle down these lengthy and complex arguments to a couple of pages. As an overview for a non-philosopher, this book was good.

The book was overall good (and sometimes great!). All chapters made sense to me and relate to the subject. Chapter #6 (philosophical problems relate to physics, biology and psychology) was an outlier for me and I felt most of it wasn鈥檛 necessary as it went into deep discussions around Newton and Leibniz and their theories on space and motion.
Nonetheless, the book gave a good introduction into the subject which, most importantly, let you feel more interested into the subject after going through this introduction.

Not too bad. I guess that's a hard way to start a review. I liked it, It did its job. I can handle reading something I'm familiar with if it delivers it in a fresh way. I wanted the grooves to go deeper. I felt he hit all the targets, just didn't shake me with any of them. It isn't just that it is a subject I'm familiar with because I've like other VSIs that delivered no real new information, but the way they told the story was worth the time and money. I also just don't know if THIS book would have hooked me if I didn't know the subject.

A very good short introduction :)
June 12, 2020
erall, I think this is a great introduction. It serves as just what it proclaims, "a very short introduction".
This book equips you with basic tools to understand better the world of ideas and reality because after all, everything we think about is based on a basic assumption about the world, be it scientific or not. I am not well versed in the field to evaluate the accuracy of the content, but what I loved the most about is how Okasha seems very objective in the presentations of the concepts. You read the stance of one school, followed by its critic, then followed by the counter-critic. This is amazing! It helps you learn about something from its various angles and leaves you at the end with the satisfying choice to adhere to what you think is more convincing, or reject everything all together.
Here is a very short summary of the ideas in the book to get a glance
Chapter 1 deals with basic definitions of what science and philosohy of science are. Science is destenguished by a unique method; experiments. Philosophy of science is the branch of philosophy that questions the methods of science and the epistimological implications that science presents. Then it distenguishes between science and pseudo-science with respect to Karl Poper's approach.
Chapter 2 discusses deduction and induction respectively. It is followed by discussing Hume's problem of induction. It states that induction is never going to be rational and thus is problematic when it is used in science. This seems challenging at first sight, yet this does not mean it can never be relied on and Okasha argued that this shouldn't matter since it actually works . Then comes up a discussion on Inference by Best Explanation, which is a from of induction that deals with infering a fact from proofs left after a phenomenon has happened, just as it occured with Darwin when he laid out his theory of evolution.
Chapter 3 explains what an explanation in scienceis. To explain something in science can have two aims: 1-To try and act out against the problem. 2-To satisfy our intellectual curiosity. The author also introduced Humpel's model of explanation and its criticism, as well as the problem of causation/correlation in analyzing data.
I found Chapter 4 about "Realism and anti-realism" the most interesting because it talks about a fundemental issue in science, and something that I always observe when I discuss science with other people. Can science study both observable and unobeservable things? The realists agree while the anti-realists oppose with their arguments which, to be honest, are not easy to rebut. But I stand as realist.
Chapter 5 is about scientific revolutions and scientific change. It discusess the importance of the history of science in scientific revolutions, Incommensurability of paradigms, and theory-ladneess of data.
Chapter 6 deals with problems in specific fields of science: Lebinz and Newton's debate on absolute space, taxonomy in biology, and the modular mind in cognitive psychology.
The last chapter is light and more superficial than the rest. It is about scienticism, the clash between religion and science on evolution, and the absence of value judgment in science.
As I mentioned, it was a great introduction. I feel very different as I have access to important scientific concepts than I did before. If you are a non-expert and want basic knowledge to understand how science works, this would be a good book for you. I don't know any other but I think you can trust this one since the author is very credible. Check Samir Okasha.

This is the ideal introduction for someone with little to no background regarding the philosophy of science. It is probably too simple for anyone with a bachelors degree in philosophy. Ergo, if you're a science student, who hasn't taken a philosophy course, you may like this book.
The book first sets out to show what are the primary philosophical issues regarding science. For instance, what is it that connects biology, physics, and chemistry, but not biblical studies, and witch craft. Is it method? That seems dubious, since advances are often made in the biology, physics, and chemistry, through various methods. The author then focuses on the famous philosopher of science Karl Popper, and his theory of falsification. Popper thought what made a theory scientific was its ability to be falsified. We cannot falsify whether or not God exists outside space and time, therefore it isn't a scientific claim, like the boiling point of water. Of course Popper's theory has its own problems which Okasha points out.
The next chapter deals with the difference between deduction, induction, inference to the best explanation, and Hume's critique of science and induction.
The following chapter grapples with the debate between materialism, idealism, realism, and anti-realism. Realist believe that there is an independent world, that exists and behaves as science says, regardless of whether or not humans are around to perceive it. E.g., if a tree falls in the woods, and no one is around to hear it, it still makes a sound. Anti-realist believe that science is more instrumentally fruitful, but that there are large parts of the cosmos, or our perceptual tools which are incapable of getting how the universe really is.
Finally the book ends talking about particular problems in the sciences, and critiques of Scientism (the belief that science can answer and/or address all questions).

A book of this size will never do justice to such an extensive subject as the philosophy of science - but what this covers, it does so extremely well, thanks largely to the author's clear writing and to a good choice of subjects.
The fundamentals of induction, explanation, realism and scientific change are all explained intelligibly, arguments are presented with corresponding counterarguments, and where necessary, topics are introduced with the right amount of background information - for example, the debate between scientific realism and anti-realism begins with a summary of the older, more metaphysical debate between realism and idealism; the chapter on scientific reasoning begins with an exploration of the difference between inductive and deductive reasoning, and so on.
A chapter on scientific change and the nature of scientific revolutions is particularly enjoyable, introducing the logical positivists and Kuhn's view of science. Another chapter explores some of the more notorious philosophical problems within science, such as the concept of absolute space and the dilemma of biological classification. The final chapter is devoted to a much-needed discussion of the various criticisms often aimed at science, including that old chestnut, scientism.
Overall I found this to be an introduction worthy of the name - it was informative, challenging and kept my interest throughout. Suitable for anyone interested in philosophy or indeed any branch of science.

This is a fantastic introduction to the philosophy of science. It is very brief and covers a broad range of topics (some rather superficially). So, this is definitely not a thorough introduction, but a very well written primer. This book will acquaint you with the core concepts and debates within the philosophy of science, and whet your appetite for further reading (the author provides a nice list for further reading broken down chapter by chapter). If you're already familiar with the philosophy of science, this may be a highly redundant read. This is a book purely for those wanting to get familiar with the field.

Does what it says on the tin. Great introduction to philosophy of science, from Hume and Locke through Popper and right the way up to Kuhn. It鈥檚 a real shame that there鈥檚 no philosophy of science in the UK science curriculum - not even on most university physics courses.
