Henri Poincare's Science and Method is an examination of the process scientists go through when determining which of the countless facts before them will be most useful in advancing scientific knowledge. In this highly readable text-first published in 1908 and here presented in a 1914 translation by Francis Maitland-Poincare investigates mathematics, logic, physics, mechanics, and astronomy and discusses how the methods of selection differ with each field. Topics discussed include: · the selection of facts · the future of mathematics · chance · the relativity of space · mathematics and logic · mechanics and radium · mechanics and optics · the new mechanics and astronomy · the Milky Way and the theory of gases · and much more.
Henri Poincar was, by general agreement, the most eminent scientific man of his generation more eminent, one is tempted to think, than any man of science now living. From the mere variety of the subjects which he illuminated, there is certainly no one who can appreciate critically the whole of his work. Some conception of his amazing comprehensiveness may be derived from the obituary number of the Revue de Mitaphysique et de Morale (S eptember 1913), where, in the course of 130 pages, four eminent men a philosopher, a mathematician, an astronomer, and a physicist tell in outline the contributions which he made to their several subjects. In all we find the same characteristics swiftness, comprehensiveness, unexampled lucidity, and the perception of recondite but fertile analogies. Poincare sphilosophical writings, of which the present volume is a good example, are not those of a professional philosopher: they are the untrammelled reflections of a broad and cultivated mind upon the procedure and the postulates of scientific discovery.
