On The Philosophy Of Discovery

On The Philosophy Of Discovery: Chapters Historical And Critical is a book written by William Whewell and published in 1860. The book is a philosophical examination of the process of discovery and how it has evolved throughout history. Whewell explores the role of intuition, observation, and experimentation in the discovery process, and how different fields of knowledge have approached discovery in different ways. He also examines the relationship between discovery and invention, arguing that while invention is often seen as a creative act, it is actually closely tied to the process of discovery. The book is divided into chapters that examine different aspects of discovery, including its historical development, its relationship to science and art, and its role in social progress. Overall, On The Philosophy Of Discovery is a thought-provoking exploration of one of the most fundamental aspects of human knowledge and understanding.Including The Completion Of The Third Edition Of The Philosophy Of The Inductive Sciences.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
