The book argues for the relevance and significance of philosophy in light of recent critiques that favor science over philosophical inquiry. Graham McFee challenges the notion of philosophy's inferiority by addressing the "dazzling ideal" of science, which suggests that scientific explanations can achieve completeness and exceptionless causality. He explores the implications of this perspective and defends the necessity of philosophical thought, highlighting its unique contributions to understanding beyond the confines of scientific reasoning.
