Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an in-depth examination of the scientific credentials of surgery, investigating whether it can be considered a true science in the same way as mathematics. The author explores the nature of science, arguing that it is not merely the accumulation of knowledge but the discovery of immutable truths through intellectual processes. The book also discusses the differences between the "perceptive" and "geometrical" minds, arguing that the latter is better suited for scientific inquiry. The author concludes by considering the obstacles to the development of scientific surgery, including the emphasis on operative skill and the tendency to rely on opinions rather than principles. This thought-provoking book sheds new light on the nature of surgery and its potential for scientific advancement.
