The first part of this book is an exploration of the ways in which computationally assisted science is fundamentally reshaping science. The second part provides a new account of empiricism suitable for contemporary science, whose purpose is to reconcile a modest but selective scientific realism with scientific empiricism - two approaches long opposed to one another.
