Introduction To The Theory Of Science And Metaphysics (1894)

Introduction to the Theory of Science and Metaphysics is a philosophical treatise written by Alois Riehl in 1894. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the theory of science and the second part dealing with metaphysics. In the first part, Riehl provides an overview of the different methods and approaches used in scientific inquiry, including induction, deduction, and hypothesis testing. He also discusses the role of observation and experimentation in scientific research, as well as the importance of empirical evidence in verifying scientific theories. In the second part, Riehl delves into the field of metaphysics, exploring questions related to the nature of reality, the existence of God, and the relationship between mind and matter. He critiques traditional metaphysical arguments and proposes his own theories, arguing that metaphysical inquiry must be based on empirical evidence and scientific methodology. Throughout the book, Riehl emphasizes the importance of a systematic and rigorous approach to philosophical inquiry, and he argues that philosophy should be grounded in scientific principles. The book is considered a classic in the field of philosophy and has been influential in shaping modern philosophical thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
