Science Without Limits: Toward a Theory of Interaction Between Nature and Knowledge

Editorial Reviews
Midwest Book Review
What role does the human factor play in the scientific process? How does it influence discovery? In Science Without Limits: Toward a Theory of Interaction Between Nature and Knowledge, scientist and teacher James Perlman shows us that science is not a dry, mechanistic process but a dynamic interplay between human beings and their surroundings, embodying attempts to understand, anticipate, and cope with natural events. The interactive nature of science requires the use of our minds, imaginations, and sense-extending apparatus, such as telescopes and microscopes. We are reminded that scientists do not merely observe; they form ideas and images which they then project upon nature to explain what they see. And these ideas and images are themselves influenced by the limitations of the observer as well as by prevailing social, intellectual, and technological conditions.
