Preliminary Discourse on the Study of Natural Philosophy

著者 John F. W. Herschel · 17 章 · about 7 hours 42 minutes 読書時間

こんにちは、Finnです。この本を理解するお手伝いをします。

10歳の子に説明するように言うと、こうなります：

科学は実際にどう働くのでしょうか。有名な天文学者ジョン・ハーシェルが、この親しみやすい古典で答えます。本棚に収めるのは彼が改訂した1851年版です。注意深く観察し、見たものを整理し、原因を推測し、推測を検証して本当の法則が現れるまでを、一歩ずつ説明します。日常生活と天の両方から簡潔な例を使います。若いダーウィンはこの本を読み、自分の野心をかき立てられたと言いました。
