Synopsis

Aphorisms Concerning Ideas, Science And The Language Of Science is a book written by William Whewell in 1840. The book is a collection of short, pithy sayings or aphorisms that explore the nature of ideas, science, and the language of science. Whewell, a prominent philosopher and historian of science, was interested in the ways in which scientific ideas are formed, communicated, and understood. In this book, he offers insights into the processes of scientific inquiry, the role of language in scientific discourse, and the importance of clear and concise communication in the scientific community. The aphorisms are organized into chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of scientific thought and practice. Throughout the book, Whewell emphasizes the importance of rigorous thinking, careful observation, and logical reasoning in the pursuit of scientific knowledge. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and philosophy of science, as well as for scientists and scholars seeking to improve their understanding of scientific methodology and communication.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
