Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the evolution of philosophy and the methods philosophers have used over time to understand the world around them. The author argues that the methods of discovery, or the tools used in all ages, have been much alike, though their names may have changed. The focus is on analogical reasoning and induction, and their roles in advancing science. The author illustrates the differences between natural history and causation and argues that both are valuable subjects of philosophical inquiry. By looking at these subjects from a historical perspective, the author shines a light on the development of scientific thought and the ways of thinking that have shaped our understanding of the universe.
