This book delves into the fascinating realm of how we think and understand the world around us, exploring the potential for applying the rigorous methods of the physical sciences to the complexities of the social sciences. Through a comparative analysis of the two fields, the author unveils the shared foundation of the "scientific method" ââ â a framework rooted in the fundamental laws of logic and reasoning. This framework, with geometry as its archetype, empowers us to build knowledge by meticulously connecting simple, verifiable truths into increasingly complex and insightful conclusions. The author then embarks on a captivating journey through the landscapes of various disciplines, from the well-charted territories of physics and chemistry to the intricate and often contested domains of ethics and political economy. This exploration reveals the common thread that binds them ââ â the human mind's quest for understanding through the creation of explanatory frameworks. Ultimately, this book challenges us to recognize the inherent potential of the social sciences to achieve the same level of clarity and certainty as their physical counterparts. By embracing the principles of the scientific method, we can illuminate the workings of human societies and behavior with unprecedented precision and insight.
