Each is part of a larger endeavor to evaluate the role and veracity of truth in the realm of science. During the 1990s, when I composed the majority of these projects, postmodernists appeared to gaining the upper hand in the Science Wars. To put it bluntly, postmodernists had declared that science was evil and truth was dead. Although certain elements of the postmodern critique clearly had merit, the broader implications for truth and science were more problematic. In the chapters that follow, I develop a critical analysis of the philosophy and practice of science. While I acknowledge the ticklish problems that coercive power often exercises over knowledge, ultimately, I arrive at a very different conclusion than postmodernists about the value of truth and the future of science.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Timothy McGettigan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1463638647\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781463638641\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/27\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 94\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.19d","brand":"Timothy McGettigan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48622361182463,"sku":"9781463638641","price":5.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2fffbb89-563e-4dc4-8694-487efdf4c454.jpg?v=1780429021","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dilemmas-in-truth-and-science-timothy-mcgettigan-9781463638641","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
