Reviews
'[This is] a rare and remarkable kind of book - a full-length treatment of the philosophy of science written by a highly respected scientist. The outcome is a veritable intellectual feast, including a sweep of the whole history of scientific methodology, from ancient Egypt to today's data-driven research ... this book makes something of a philosophical manual for working scientists, especially those who are in the early stages of their careers. I hope that generations of students and researchers entering their scientific careers will discover this book and benefit from its abundant wisdom.' Hasok Chang, University of Cambridge (from his Foreword)

Synopsis
This book is a novel synthesis of the philosophy and practice of science, covering its diverse theoretical, metaphysical, logical, philosophical, sociological, and practical elements. Students, philosophers and practicing scientists will learn how to think more deeply and holistically about their work, i.e., how to know how to know., This book is a novel synthesis of the philosophy and practice of science, covering its diverse theoretical, metaphysical, logical, philosophical, and practical elements. The process of science is generally taught in its empirical form: what science is, how it works, what it has achieved, and what it might achieve in the future. What is often absent is how to think deeply about science and how to apply its lessons in the pursuit of truth, in other words, knowing how to know. In this volume, David Teplow presents illustrative examples of science practice, history and philosophy of science, and sociological aspects of the scientific community, to address commonalities among these disciplines. In doing so, he challenges cherished beliefs and suggests to students, philosophers, and practicing scientists new, epistemically superior, ways of thinking about and doing science.
