Description

William Whewell's seminal work on the philosophy of science presents a coherent statement of his realist view that science discovers necessary truths about nature.

This volume includes Whewell's studies on the logic of induction, critiques of Mill's theory, and exercises in epistemology and ontology. A comprehensive collection of his fundamental ideas about the philosophy of science, this book provides insight into a historically important philosophy whose influence continues to shape our understanding of scientific inquiry.

With 358 pages of detailed analysis, this paperback edition offers a valuable resource for those interested in the history and principles of scientific method.
