Science is not just a body of knowledge. It is a human activity with a history, a philosophy, a sociology, and a set of institutional structures that shape what gets studied, how it gets studied, and what counts as established knowledge. Understanding the nature of science -- how it works, why it works, how it has changed, and where it has gone wrong -- is essential for anyone who wants to practice science, teach science, or make informed decisions based on science.
