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 Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50952442052896,"sku":"9780451230058","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/3661\/7504\/files\/9780451230058.jpg?v=1763657624","url":"https:\/\/creativebysanchez.com\/es\/products\/the-logical-leap","provider":"Creative By Sanchez","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
