What it is

Run by Tom Morris of Fullerton College in Fullerton, CA, this online text discusses in detail the Philosophy of Science--"how...[it] came to be, what it is, and what it isn't." Sound like a lot to cover in a website? You bet it is. Morris takes twenty lengthy chapters to fully address the subject, from the origins of scientific thought in the classical world, to great Renaissance thinkers like Leonardo Da Vinci and Francis Bacon, to Watson and Crick's discovery of the double helix. Morris also addresses such issues as the purpose of science, the importance of empirical evidence, and the relationship between science and spirituality. A great resource, and the chapter search function makes it easy to get your facts straight in a pinch.
