I disagree with the person who wrote the first review of this book. I thought this book was well-written, with interesting insights into the nature of science, and penetrating criticisms of some of the better-known philosophers who have written about the subject. I am always looking for clear prose, and this book has it. I recommend this book to anyone interested in the philosophy of science, philosophy in general, and taut writing.

The product made it to its destination the day before it was actually expected. The book was in good condition, as well.

I haven't done a lot of reading in this area, but there MUST be better books out there on this topic. In 239 pages O'Hear told me all about how Kuhn and Popper and Feyerabend have it all wrong, and (of course) Anthony O'Hear knows exactly how we should be evaluating science from a philosophical perspective.

I am not an expert on Kuhn or Popper or Feyerabend, but I know this--they write books that are a lot better than Anthony O'Hear's "Introduction to the Philosophy of Science."
