Episteme Scientia
According to the author, the Scientific Method has been subtly proving the Genesis cosmology in every classroom around the world for more than 450 years--in spite of the fervency to promote evolution and big bang theories. (Christian)

Pilgrims of Episteme
Science is not a dead collection of facts but a constantly developing body of knowledge whose progress is due to the spirit of science and the scientific method. The author's passion for science, history and philosophy drives this narrative about the method of science and how it evolved from the time of the ancient Greeks to the present day. Eager to impart his love of learning to his son Sid, Ken invents a time machine that takes the father and son duo on an exciting journey to the past where they meet scientists and philosophers considered to be the greatest influence on the method of science. The reader will learn that the evolution of the scientific method is a human endeavour full of great leaps and also huge blunders.As well as being an entertaining and informative read – full of anecdotes and surprising asides -this book is also intended as an educational resource for the student of science.

A Nice Derangement of Epistemes
Since the 1950s, many philosophers of science have attacked positivism—the theory that scientific knowledge is grounded in objective reality. Reconstructing the history of these critiques, John H. Zammito argues that while so-called postpositivist theories of science are very often invoked, they actually provide little support for fashionable postmodern approaches to science studies. Zammito shows how problems that Quine and Kuhn saw in the philosophy of the natural sciences inspired a turn to the philosophy of language for resolution. This linguistic turn led to claims that science needs to be situated in both historical and social contexts, but the claims of recent "science studies" only deepened the philosophical quandary. In essence, Zammito argues that none of the problems with positivism provides the slightest justification for denigrating empirical inquiry and scientific practice, delivering quite a blow to the "discipline" postmodern science studies. Filling a gap in scholarship to date, A Nice Derangement of Epistemes will appeal to historians, philosophers, philosophers of science, and the broader scientific community.
The EpiSTEME Reviews
THE EPISTEME REVIEWS Volume 4 includes papers based on the talks delivered at the international epiSTEME-4 conference held in 2011. These papers review recent researches and trends within three strands central to science technology and mathematics education (STME). The first strand explores historical, philosophical and socio-cultural studies of STME, such as the social nature of scientific knowledge and multi-science perspectives. The second strand reviews cognitive and affective studies of STME in the Indian and international context. It highlights the role of argumentation and critical review in the construction of knowledge, connects children's informal knowledge with symbolic representa...
The poetics of Episteme-Art
In this poetic-philosophical essay, that in its own form traditionally negates the best practices of the Academy as seen from the perspective of an outsider, but still acting from its own ranks, the Brazilian author Adão Vieira de Faria describes the daily absurdity of our webian world and its thoughtless delivery routine.
