| book description |

What is the proper relation between the scientific worldview and other parts or aspects of human knowledge and experience? Can any science aim at 'complete coverage' of the world, and if it does, will it undermine - in principle or by tendency - other attempts to describe or understand the world? Nine case studies, look at how this problem has been approached from the ancient world to the present day. A comparison of the final contributions - from David Papineau and Nancy Cartwright - show how far we still are from consensus on the question of the ambition of science.
