Subvert!: A philosophical guide for the 21st century scientist

By Dan Cleather

Book Overview

Science has lost its way.

Multi-national corporations profit from publicly funded research by restricting access to scientific publications. There is an epidemic of mental health problems among trainee scientists. Post-truth politics has destroyed public trust in scientists and many people think that science does little to improve their quality of life.

In Subvert , Dan Cleather demonstrates the practical importance of philosophy for the modern scientist. Drawing on the ideas of a wide range of thinkers, from 19th century anarchists like Bakunin and Kropotkin, to philosophers of science like Popper and Feyerabend, the book is a perfect introduction to the field. Packed with anecdotes that illustrate the real world relevance of the material, Subvert is a compelling and fascinating read.
