Meanwhile, while re-exploring the RSS offer from The Economist following advice from a parallel thread, I found this article: The Economist reads, Science - What to read to understand how science works https://www.economist.com/the-economist-reads/2022/08/17/what-to-read-to-understand-how-science-works https://www.economist.com/the-economist-reads/2022/08/17/wha... The texts suggested in the article are: Bill Bryson, A Short History of Nearly Everything ; Charles Darwin, On the Origin of Species ; Rebecca Skloot, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks ; Oliver Sacks, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat ; Primo Levi, The Periodic Table ; Richard Feynman, The Pleasure of Finding Things Out. While I would rather indicate some good divlugation of Epistemology (or "Philosophy of Science", formula preferred West of the Atlantic, where 'epistemology' is more commonly used to indicate what elsewhere is called 'gnoseology'), and the list from The Economist has something of the pick from the half-interested onlooker, even those texts will probably do more good than harm.
