About This Book

This study traces the development of observational and experimental sciences from ancient times to the author's present, organizing each field into epochs marked by major discoveries and treating subordinate advances as preludes and sequels. It surveys the progress of astronomy, physics, chemistry, geology, and the life sciences, emphasizing the role of induction and the interplay between experiment and theory. Biographical and bibliographical notices accompany accounts of discoveries, and methodological reflections are offered as groundwork for a philosophy of science. Related debates about ideas such as matter, force, and organization are acknowledged and deferred to a companion philosophical treatment.
