Review of 'Idealization and the Aims of Science' on 'Goodreads'

I like the ideas but the writing is unnecessarily opaque and referential ("as So-and-So also write"). I was hoping this book would explain the ideas clearly and succinctly but it struggled to free its writing of a disciplinary strait-jacket.
