Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book proposes that observation and experimentation are the only means by which humans can gain knowledge about their surroundings. Through an exploration of the senses and how they relate to the world around us, the author demonstrates how our knowledge is limited by our human biology and the way in which our senses perceive the world. Rather than seeking to determine the essence of things, the author argues that science should focus on the relationships between things, emphasizing that attempting to determine the nature of the universe requires delving into metaphysics, not science. This book further explores the themes of science and its role in predicting the future and constructing machines for human use, establishing a framework for understanding the importance of science in the pursuit of knowledge about our world.
