Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the heart of scientific discovery, dissecting the intricate process of induction ââ â the method by which we derive general principles from specific observations. The author challenges prevailing notions of induction, arguing against its application to mere practical skills or rudimentary animal behaviours. Instead, the focus is on the uniquely human ability to form general concepts and scientific truths. Set against the backdrop of historical scientific advancements and drawing upon examples from luminaries like Kepler and Newton, the book critically examines existing theories of induction. It scrutinises the role of "conceptions" in scientific thought, contending that these mental constructs are not simply copies of external reality but rather essential tools for organising and interpreting observations. The author delves into lively debates on the nature of these conceptions, their origin, and their role in shaping scientific progress. Through rigorous analysis and engaging historical context, this book illuminates the profound interplay between the human mind and the natural world in the quest for scientific knowledge. By shedding light on the often-overlooked role of conceptions in scientific discovery, the author offers invaluable insights into the very essence of how we understand and explain the universe around us. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
