Science has faced numerous criticisms and challenges in recent years. This book offers a well-researched defense of science, addressing concerns raised by scholars such as Bruno Latour, Simon Schaffer, and Thomas Kuhn. The author presents case studies from various fields, including dinosaur paleontology and climate science, to demonstrate how science generates objective knowledge. The book also explores the relationship between science and moral questions, examining whether value-laden issues can be answered through scientific inquiry. For those seeking thoughtful responses to criticisms of science, this book provides a clear and accessible explanation of its principles and methods.
