The philosophy of science a very short introduction

In this book, Samir Akasha presents some of these discussions, I mean the discussions of the philosophy of science. The purpose of the book is to introduce the reader who has not heard of the philosophy of science to the issues that philosophers of science are concerned with trying to solve. It also aims to demonstrate the usefulness of these debates and their impact on the natural sciences. He has made great efforts to present the philosophical problems and attempts to deal with them in the simplest way possible so that those unfamiliar with the philosophy of science can understand. The book is divided into seven chapters. The first chapter attempts to define what is meant by "science," while the second and third chapters discuss the nature of scientific reasoning and explanation. Then, the fourth chapter moves on to discuss the issue of the realism of scientific results and their relation to the world we live in. The fifth chapter addresses a related issue concerning the realism of science, which is the nature of change in the dominant scientific theories and the extent to which they are influenced by social and scientific conditions. In the sixth chapter, the author presents models of philosophical problems in specific sciences such as physics, biology, and psychology. In these, the reader can observe the depth of the philosophical issues that scientists need to deal with. The book concludes with a final chapter related to critical attitudes towards scientific practice in general, whether due to overstepping its boundaries, opposing religion, or lacking complete objectivity.
