Explore how science builds knowledge from logic to physics in this comprehensive study.
In Problems of Science, Federigo Enriques presents a sweeping view of scientific method that ties together geometry, logic, mechanics, and the life sciences. The book blends historical development with critical analysis, showing how ideas evolve and how theories are tested against observation.
- See how non-Euclidean geometries prompted a rethinking of space and mathematical truth.
- Explore how the extension of mechanics links physical laws to broader scientific understandings.
- Learn how experiments, measurements, and logical principles guide the acceptance or revision of theories.
- Follow the historical and philosophical thread that unites different scientific disciplines into a coherent view of knowledge.
Ideal for readers of philosophy of science, mathematics, and the history of scientific ideas.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a captivating exploration of the fundamental problems and methods of scientific knowledge. Delving into the historical development of key scientific concepts, the author scrutinizes the role of logic, geometry, and mechanics in shaping our understanding of the world. The book offers a thought-provoking examination of long-standing scientific enigmas, such as squaring the circle and perpetual motion, revealing how these challenges have driven scientific progress and led to the discovery of fundamental principles like the conservation of energy. The author's analysis extends to the realm of philosophy, where the concepts of absolute and relative are dissected and their implications for knowledge and morality are explored. This book challenges readers to critically evaluate the limitations and potential of human knowledge, questioning the validity of absolute truths and emphasizing the ever-evolving nature of scientific understanding. Through a blend of historical examples, scientific insights, and philosophical reflections, the book provides a compelling framework for understanding the complex relationship between science, philosophy, and the pursuit of knowledge. By embracing the relativity of scientific concepts and the continuous process of refinement, we can move beyond the constraints of absolute thinking and embrace a more nuanced and dynamic view of the world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
