Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book introduces to the world of science, exploring the rigorous methods by which we understand the natural world. Science can be broken down into two disciplines, truths that belong to us prior to engagement with the world (a priori) and truths we derive from the world ( a posteriori). The author argues that the true path to knowledge is not merely empirical observation (a posteriori) but rather the interaction of both a priori and a posteriori knowledge. This book provides an in-depth analysis of how the rules governing evidence lead us to deduce universal laws, and further highlights the fundamental role of imagination and anticipation in the scientific process. The book concludes by illustrating how the scientific method was birthed from inadequacies in the a priori method, and how it has reshaped our understanding of the natural world. This book not only provides an exceptional introduction to the world of science but also illuminates the profound role of imagination and anticipation in the discovery of scientific truth.
