At last count, Prof. Pigliucci has published 142 technical papers in science and philosophy. He is also the author or editor of 10 technical and public outreach books, most recently of Philosophy of Pseudoscience: Reconsidering the Demarcation Problem (University of Chicago Press), co-edited with Maarten Boudry.

Vaak komen auteurs met een handvol tips aandraven alsof het een makkie is ("kijk op een website naar de datum en de bron" of "dit zijn allemaal logische denkfouten waarmee je een uitspraak kan analyseren).
Massimo Piglucci kijkt gelukkig verder dan dat: hij schetst een genuanceerd beeld van wetenschap en wetenschappers en beschrijft de valkuilen waarin je als betrokkene of leek gemakkelijk intuint.
In het laatste hoofdstuk heeft hij uiteindelijk ook een lijstje klaar, maar het is er een met het nodige, redelijke voorbehoud.
Een verademing, dit boek, eentje om te lezen.… (meer)
