As Dr. Peikoff subsequently explored the concept of induction, he sought out David Harriman, a physicist who had taught philosophy, for his expert knowledge of the scientific discovery process. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Here, Harriman presents the result of a collaboration between scientist and philosopher. Beginning with a detailed discussion of the role of mathematics and experimentation in validating generalizations in physics-looking closely at the reasoning of scientists such as Galileo, Kepler, Newton, Lavoisier, and Maxwell-Harriman skillfully argues that the inductive method used in philosophy is in principle indistinguishable from the method used in physics.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"STANDARD","offer_id":62245408702851,"sku":"9780451230058","price":27.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/8456\/3587\/files\/9780451230058.jpg?v=1785406934","url":"https:\/\/shopcomics.eu\/products\/the-logical-leap-9780451230058","provider":"Shop Comics EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
