520	1		_a"Without scientific theory, the technology developments of recent years would not have been possible. In this introduction to philosophy of science, James Ladyman explores the scope of natural science and its implications for human life. With the focus firmly upon realism, he discusses how fundamental philosophical questions can be answered by science and how scientific theory can confirm and inform our basic and intrinsic knowledge."--BOOK JACKET.
