About this ebook
A unique introduction to the philosophy of science with special emphasis on the life sciences. Part I presents elementary but fundamental concepts and problems in epistemology and their relation to questions of scientific methodology.

Part IV discusses the limitations of scientific enquiry and its relations to other systems of knowledge and interpretation.
