Review
A scientific opinion is one which there is some reason to believe is true; an unscientific opinion is one which is held for some reason other than its probable truth.
–Bertrand Russell



Product Description
The Scientific Outlook provides accessible and illuminating insights into Russell's thinking about the promise and threat of scientific progress. He offers brilliant discussions of many of the major figures in the history of science, including Aristotle, Galileo, Newton and Darwin and considers three questions fundamental to an understanding of science: the nature and scope of scientific knowledge, the increased power over nature that science affords, and the changes in the lives of human beings that result from new forms of science.
