About this title

Synopsis

A major statement of the language, method, and concepts of the physical sciences, this volume traces the history of experimental investigation and the efforts of philosophic minds to state and organize their findings.

Book Description

This 1892 publication by the mathematician Karl Pearson (1857-1936) presents a positivist account of the nature of science. Pearson claims that 'the scientific method is the sole gateway to the whole region of knowledge'. Exploring concepts such as matter, energy, space and time, the work also includes chapter summaries.
