Abstract

The critical reader who possesses the patience requisite for wading through this linguistic morass can expect to be rewarded with a number of interesting insights and observations, primarily concerning phenomenological aspects of science and scientific method. Sikora's argument is informed by a Thomist philosophy of science-especially as exemplified in the writings of Jacques Maritain. His task is an analysis of the distinction and relation between physical science and its philosophy—an interesting and important problem. But unfortunately as in steamship cruises to exotic and far away lands, so also in philosophy: getting there is half the fun.—H. P. K.
