I started Alan F. Chalmers's "What Is This Thing Called Science?" (Hackett Publishing Co., 3rd edition, 1999, ISBN 0-87220-452-9). Next fall semester, I'll be teaching an Honors course called "Philosophy of Science" (first time in my life, and first time in the history of my little university!), so I thought I should read this book. It's a difficult reading, in all honesty. Chalmers is a physicist and uses a lot of examples from physics, which aren't always very easy for me to understand. But I'll get through this book, hopefully...
