Theory of Scientific Method

von William Whewell

370 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This volume includes Whewell''s seminal studies of the logic of induction (with his critique of Mill's theory), arguments for his realist view that science discovers necessary truths about nature, and exercises in the epistemology and ontology of science. The book sets forth a coherent statement of a historically important philosophy of science whose influence has never been greater: every one of Whewell''s fundamental ideas about the philosophy of science is presented here.
