Was ist Wissenschaft?: Praktische Wissenschaftslehre ("What Is Science? Practical Philosophy of Science") is a 1985 German-language book by Walter Theimer, published by Francke (Tübingen) in the UTB series.
Overview
The book is an accessible introduction to the philosophy of science — the nature of scientific method, theory, evidence, and knowledge — written for a general readership. Theimer's practical approach reflects his broader, sometimes sceptical, view of modern theoretical physics; he was also the author of a well-known German critique of relativity.
