Summary
In this book, science has its say. But not with the pretension that science has the last word. We want to look beyond the scientific nose. And for that you need a philosophical analysis. That amounts to putting science under “the microscope of philosophy.” I chose the image of a microscope to make visible what is invisible to the naked eye.
In each chapter, the book studies a scientific issue with an analysis that cuts to the bone. The aim is to make what scientists do and don’t do a little more transparent. This analysis is sometimes new, sometimes different, sometimes daring, sometimes unexpected, but—we hope—never boring.
