Abstract
THIS book is substantially a reprint of essays which have appeared at different times in various journals. The author has the advantage of a more profound knowledge of philosophy than most popular writers on science, and his comments are more sober and orthodox than might perhaps be anticipated from the somewhat flamboyant title. The scope is sufficiently indicated by chapter-headings such as “The Nature of Scientific Knowledge”, “From Physics to Philosophy”, “Logic and Modern Science”, and “Determinism, Uncertainty, and Free Will”.
