The Comprehensibility of the Universe: A New Conception of Science

The Comprehensibility of the Universe: A New Conception of Science The Comprehensibility of the Universe puts forward a radically new conception of science. Nicholas Maxwell argues that the prevailing view of the relation between scientific theory and evidence is untenable; he calls for a new orthodoxy which sees science as making a hierarchy of assumptions about the comprehensibility of the universe.
