Abstract

Science and philosophy go together. This is, in a simplified way, the answer to the question that titles the book reviewed: Could the advances of science put an end to philosophy? Its authors, Ronaldo Marin and Gustavo Rick Amaral, provoke the question, which is unraveled throughout the text with a necessary, timely, and now urgent density and fluency, both for the specialized public and, especially, for the general public.
