Sinossi
Excerpt from Progress of Science, Its Origin, Course, Promoters, and Results
The history of science is a sealed book, generally speaking. To the multitude of readers, including in it scientific students, an historical thread conducting them through the bewildering field of science cannot fail to prove a welcome gain. Men, as a rule, accept the fact of to-day as it stands without troubling themselves about the gradual steps taken in the past to reach it. They have neither the leisure nor the inclination to probe the obscurity of past ages themselves. They leave this task to the historian. Nor have they the inclination and leisure, pressed onward as they are by their daily work, to follow the historian if his account is at all bulky. Time fails them. Some, no doubt, have tried to become acquainted with the subject, but despite its extraordinary fascination, most have given.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book follows the rise of science, from the Greeks through modern times. It focuses on the major figures and scientific discoveries that have shaped our understanding of the world. The author argues that the scientific method was developed through the objective observation and induction of Aristotle, and that this method has been fundamental to the advancement of scientific knowledge. The book explores the drawbacks to scientific progress in antiquity, such as the widespread acceptance of slavery and the lack of advanced mathematics. Despite these drawbacks, the author shows how scientists throughout the ages made important strides in astronomy, biology, chemistry, and more. The book concludes by emphasizing the importance of science in promoting human progress and the need to continue to support scientific research, resulting in a modern era that is rapidly advancing on our understanding of the natural world and our place within it.
