About this product
Product Information
Does science have all the answers? Can it even deal with abstract reasoning which reaches beyond the world experienced by us? How can we be so sure that the physical world is sufficiently ordered to be intelligible to humans? How is it that mathematics, a product of human minds, can unlock the secrets of the physical universe? Are all such questions to be ruled out as inadmissible if science cannot settle them? Metaphysics has traditionally been understood as reasoning beyond the reach of science, sometimes even claiming realities that are beyond its grasp. Because of this, metaphysics has often been contemptuously dismissed by scientists and philosophers who wish to remain within the bounds of what can be scientifically proven. Yet scientists at the frontiers of physics unwittingly engage in metaphysics, as they are now happy to contemplate whole universes that are, in principle, beyond human reach. Roger Trigg challenges those who deny that science needs philosophical assumptions. In fact, Trigg claims that the foundations of science themselves have to lie beyond science. It takes reasoning apart from what can be experienced to discover what is not yet known, and this metaphysical reasoning to imagine realities beyond what can be accessed. "In Beyond Matter, Roger Trigg advances a powerful, persuasive, fair-minded argument that the sciences require a philosophical, metaphysical foundation. This is a brilliant book for new-comers to philosophy of science and experts alike." --Charles Taliaferro, professor of philosophy, St. Olaf College

Reviews
"In this important book, the philosopher Roger Trigg sets out to honour the sciences by not letting them be shouldered with burdens they cannot bear, such as being the arbiter of all truth. Trigg opposes scientism, arguing that we cannot 'arbitrarily' dismiss 'swathes of human reasoning and experience,' reflected in disciplines such as literature or theology, simply on the grounds that they are not physics." --Andrew Davison, Times' Literary Supplement "Trigg is an eminent philosopher and now Senior Research Fellow at the Ian Ramsey Center at Oxford. If you're concerned about the 'science only' approach . . . this one is a helpful corrective." --Jim Stimp, BioLogos "This book, for newcomers to the field of philosophy of science and those already immersed in the debates, is superb." -- CHOICE "Thoughtful and well-reasoned. . . . Beyond Matter has the potential to transcend academia, thanks to its friendly tone and willingness to address atheism in a noncombative way--a rarity in works along the science-philosophy divide. In an age when belief and research seem pitted against one another, this book is a welcome window of bipartisan sanity. Ideal for researchers and thinkers, but also a good pick for interested armchair philosophers." --Anna Call, Foreword Reviews "As always, Trigg's writing is clear and his argumentation easy to comprehend. He introduces a number of philosophical debates in science without getting too entangled in details." --Lari Launonen, ESSSAT News and Reviews, "Roger Trigg shows no philosophical reluctance or diffidence in raising and answering fundamental philosophical questions. In Beyond Matter: Why Science Needs Metaphysics he argues powerfully against an 'underlabouring' view of philosophy, at least in relation to science." -- Booknotes in Philosophy "Impressively well written and exceptionally well presented, Beyond Matter: Why Science Needs Metaphysics is as informed and informative as it is thoughtful and thought-provoking. Very highly recommended for both community and academic library Philosophy collections in general, and Metaphysics supplemental studies lists in particular." --John Taylor, Midwest Book Review "Here is Roger Trigg at his most incisive and succinct as he returns to his examination of where the limits of the modern scientific enterprise might legitimately lie. He makes a clear and persuasive case for the validity of explanations in metaphysics, ethics, and theology, against both the reductive stance we have inherited (through various permutations) from positivism and the abnegation of universal truth claims of post-modernism." --John Maxwell Kerr, SOSc., Network Review " Beyond Matter is a response to the claims often made by scientists that questions beyond the reach of science are not worth asking and are only 'pseudo problems.'" --Nick Mattiske, Journey "Elegantly composed . . . thought-provoking." --David J. Depew, Q uarterly Review of Biology, "Roger Trigg shows no philosophical reluctance or diffidence in raising and answering fundamental philosophical questions.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
