We live in a world which looks simply but it is very complex. We try to figure out it in different ways, but a most successful one is scientific knowledge. How did work scientific research? What role can theories, methods and methodologies play in scientific research? Are evidence objective as over the centuries were it believed? Does language matters regarding the facts and in what sense? How did rules help and how can they become obstacle? When may counter-rules come to the play? And does the truth play a decisive role or can science work even without it? When all principles that were believed to be sustainable collapsed, how can science advance toward understanding the reality and to gain knowledge? All these issues are treated in this book, from the viewpoint of philosophy of science and with a simplicity that everyone can grasp their contents.
