The Common Sense Of The Exact Sciences

""The Common Sense of the Exact Sciences"" is a classic work of philosophy and science written by William Kingdon Clifford. Originally published in 1885, this book explores the nature of scientific knowledge and how it differs from other forms of knowledge. Clifford argues that scientific knowledge is based on empirical evidence and logical reasoning, and that it is distinct from other forms of knowledge such as intuition or faith. He also examines the role of mathematics in science, arguing that it is not just a tool for calculation but a fundamental part of scientific understanding. Throughout the book, Clifford emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and skepticism in scientific inquiry, and he encourages readers to approach scientific claims with a healthy dose of skepticism. ""The Common Sense of the Exact Sciences"" is a thought-provoking and insightful work that remains relevant to contemporary debates about the nature of science and knowledge.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
