Nancy Cartwright, an American philosopher, questions three commonly accepted visions of science in her book "Science through the Eyes of a Philosopher". She shows that science is much more complex than we usually think, and consists of many different elements, each of which plays an important role. The author refers to the concepts of leading researchers as well as numerous examples from the physical, natural and social sciences to illustrate her arguments.

This book proves that science is not only the fascinating discovery of the secrets of the world, but above all a tedious and time-consuming process of learning, making mistakes and constantly searching. Cartwright emphasizes that science is not only theories and experiments, but also intuition, creativity and the ability to think critically. It is a book that makes you think and allows you to look at science from a completely new perspective.

In each volume of the Through the Eyes of a Philosopher series, widely recognized thinkers present a personal reflection on topics we encounter in everyday life. Nancy Cartwright invites readers on an intellectual journey in which she challenges established patterns of thinking and encourages questioning. This is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the world and their place in it.
