Rezensionen
The 2nd Edition of Samir Okasha's Philosophy of Science: A Very Short Introduction is a fantastic entry point for all those who would like to get an overview of the issues philosophers of science grapple with. The book is written in a highly accessible and clear fashion, and manages to cover an impressively wide- and I would say, representative-range of topics on a mere 130 pages. - Samuel Schindler, Metascience
