How much faith should we place in what scientists tell us? Is it possible for scientific knowledge to be fully "objective?" What, really, can be defined as science? In the second edition of this Very Short Introduction, Samir Okasha explores the main themes and theories of contemporary philosophy of science, and investigates fascinating, challenging questions such as these. Starting at the very beginning, with a concise overview of the history of science, Okasha examines the nature of fundamental practices such as reasoning, causation, and explanation. Looking at scientific revolutions and the issue of scientific change, he asks whether there is a discernible pattern to the way scientific ideas change over time, and discusses realist versus anti-realist attitudes towards science. He finishes by considering science today, and the social and ethical philosophical questions surrounding modern science.

Just what I needed for sorting my LEGO builds!
Size: 6 Pack, Color: Clear
The different sizes are perfect for sorting assorted LEGO pieces! Easy to store and stackable when not in use. Putting on the little pads on the bottom can be a bit tricky, so take your time with it! These thick plastic trays are an AWESOME value for what you get! You get (2) sets for double the storage capacity!
Very durable and crystal clear appearance! The little pads on the bottom keep these little trays in place so they don't slide around. Very satisfied with this purchase!

Love These for Organizing Drawers
Size: 8 Pack, Color: Clear
I love these drawer organizers! The sizes vary so you can configure them in multiple ways. The clear material is nice, and the non-slip feet work well to keep them in place. So far, they seem durable and look really nice.

Cute jewelery holder
Color: C Blue
I was looking for something simple to hold some necklaces and earrings. I do the have much because I'm not much into jewelry but I didn't want to just sit them in a bathroom drawer. This jewelry rack is so convenient and doesn't take up a lot of room. Fits the bill just right.
