The New Philosophy of Modern Science, written by William Walker Strong and first published in 1920, is a comprehensive exploration of the philosophical underpinnings of modern science. Strong argues that the scientific method has fundamentally changed the way we understand the world and our place in it, and that this transformation has important implications for our understanding of reality, morality, and the nature of human knowledge.Drawing on the work of thinkers such as Francis Bacon, John Locke, and Immanuel Kant, Strong traces the history of modern science and its impact on philosophy. He argues that the scientific method, with its emphasis on empirical observation and experimentation, has displaced traditional metaphysical and theological approaches to understanding the world, and has given rise to a new conception of reality as a system of natural laws that can be observed and studied.Strong also explores the ethical and social implications of this new philosophy of science. He argues that the scientific method has given rise to a new conception of morality, based on the idea of objective truth and the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake. He also examines the role of science in society, arguing that the scientific method has the potential to transform human society by promoting rationality, objectivity, and progress.Overall, The New Philosophy of Modern Science is a thought-provoking exploration of the philosophical implications of modern science. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of science, philosophy, or the relationship between science and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
