Excerpt from The Principles of Science: A Treatise on Logic and Scientific Method
I'r may be truly asserted that the rapid progress of the physical sciences during the last three centuries has not been accompanied by a corresponding advance in the theory of reasoning. Physicists speak familiarly of Scientific Method, but they could not readily describe what they mean by that expression. Profoundly engaged in the study of particular classes of natural phenomena, they are usually too much engrossed in the immense and ever-accumulating details of their special sciences to generalise upon the methods of reasoning which they unconsciously employ. Yet few will deny that these methods of reasoning ought to be studied, especially by those who endeavour to introduce scientific order into less successful and methodical branches of knowledge.

The Principles of Science: A Treatise on Logic and Scientific Method
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fundamental principles of scientific reasoning, delving into the methods used to discover and verify laws of nature. The author meticulously examines the historical development of scientific method, tracing its evolution from the empirical approaches of Francis Bacon to the more theoretical frameworks of Isaac Newton. The text emphasizes the crucial role of logic in scientific inquiry, arguing that induction is an inverse application of deduction. The book then dives into the intricacies of quantitative analysis, examining how measurements are made, errors are accounted for, and probable results are determined. The author further explores the use of hypothesis in scientific discovery, highlighting the importance of empirical evidence and theoretical prediction in achieving scientific understanding. Throughout the book, the author challenges the common assumption of a rigid "Reign of Law" in nature, suggesting that our knowledge is inherently limited and that scientific inferences, while valuable, are ultimately probabilistic. This groundbreaking work offers a rich and nuanced understanding of the logical underpinnings of science, illuminating the complexities of discovery and the limitations of our knowledge of the universe. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330246122_0
