According to Bertrand Russell, science is knowledge; that which seeks general la
ws connecting a number of particular facts. It is, he argues, far superior to ar
t, where much of the knowledge is intangible and assumed. In "The Scientific Out
look," Russell delivers one of his most important works, exploring the nature an
d scope of scientific knowledge, the increased power of nature that science affo
rds and the changes in the lives of human beings that result from new forms of s
cience.
Insightful and accessible, this impressive work sees Russell at his v
ery best.
