Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A New System of Scientific Procedure: Being an Attempt to Ascertain, Develop, and Systematise the General Methods Employed in Modern Enquiries at Their Best The present treatise may be regarded as an attempt at a modern re-statement of Bacon´s position in his Novum Organum, and this principally because the author follows the great Elizabethan in his suspicion of all precipitate theorising and in his conviction that the human mind may be made incalculably more effective for the discovery of truth than it has hitherto been. Like Bacon, he deems it eccentric to expect of men a high degree of methodological competency, so long as there exists no science of correct thinking grounded on a circumspect and exhaustive analysis of the process of thought at its best. Until such a science is established, the author opines, the progress of the sciences generally, especially those relating to the individual and to society, will be both snail-like and ant-like. This demand for a science of correct thinking - not hasty or laborious speculations on the subject - is so eminently rational that it is difficult to imagine how any soberly reflecting person can forbear echoing it, whilst in respect of the obstacles which might be encountered in such a truly formidable enterprise, there should be agreement that these obstacles must be, manifestly, objectively discovered, not hypothetically created. The author fain hopes that, as a result of over a quarter of a century of indefatigable attention to the methodological problem, he has substantially advanced by this contribution the state of the science to which all the other sciences turn for light, as the planets do to the sun. On the principles he has adopted, there should be at last a possibility of changing the whirling chaos in the psychological, moral, economic, and kindred sciences into a steady and relatively swift forward movement - to the intense relief and immense benefit of the entire human race. Moreover, whatever the problem or issue that might arise, fair assistance towards its examination and resolution will be probably found in this work by those who have assimilated its proposals.
