Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Higher Usefulness of Science, and Other Essays Reading these essays after the words and sentences which compose them have lain fallow in my mind for many months, I find myself beset with solicitude lest they shall not accomplish the purpose for which they are originally written, and for which they are now given book form. That purpose was to bring to the attention of the public - to educated, thoughtful people first, then afterwards to the intelligent rank and file - a certain way of looking upon the living world generally, and man particularly, which I believe to be vital to human welfare. The significance of the scientific point of view which underlies these essays has been gradually forcing itself upon my mind through many years, as, started from and impelled by purely scientific motives in the first instance, the standpoint itself has slowly taken shape. Now, the world-struggle at arms, in which our country has inevitably become fully involved, is upon us and convinces me more than ever of the mighty part "point of view," theory, philosophy - call it what you will - plays in the affairs of civilized mankind.

This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature of Science, and Other Essays This book is intended as a collection of five essays in the general area of logic and mathematics as applied to science, composed, at various times, during the course of the past decade. The develop ment of the methods and results of natural science is possibly the most significant intellectual contribution of modern western civili zation to the galaxy of man's supreme achievements. I use the term natural science in its widest sense, including all theoretical knowl edge which cannot by definition be included under the category of the divine sciences, and which comprehends knowledge both dis covered by the application of special scientific procedures and based on common sense in everyday life. In the same way the expression language of science is meant here to refer to the language which contains all statements, i.e., theoretical sentences, in contradistinction to emotional expressions, commands, etc., used for scientific purposes in everyday life. What is usually called science I take to be a more systematic continuation of those activities which we carry out in everyday life in order to learn more about the world around us. As in my earlier book Truth and Meaning, I have not distin guished between any special logic of the empirical sciences and logic in general, since I doubt if any such differentiation really exists. I have taken logic as the name of the discipline which ana lyzes the meaning of the concepts common to all the sciences, and establishes the general laws governing the concepts. But I do recog nize two chief parts of the analysis of linguistic expressions in science. Scientific investigation may be restricted to the forms of_ the linguistic expressions involved and their relation to objects out side of language. An investigation of this type comes within the field of logical syntax, is restricted to formal analysis and abstracts from designation. In the second case, an investigation may not be restricted to formal analysis, but may take designation into con sideration. An investigation of this type comes within the field of semantics, and includes the semantical analysis of the designationof expressions. It will be obvious that this second part of scientific analysis is considerably broader than the first. A further distinction should be made between formal science and empirical science. Formal science consists of analytic statements established by logic and mathematics; empirical science consists of synthetic statements established in the different fields of factual knowledge.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Century of Scientific Thought Other Essays Let us turn our attention to the Argument from Design, commonly so-called. My intention is to consider its position at the beginning of the last century, and the effect upon it of the great con troversies of the middle of that century which men think of as the Darwinian controversy. Finally, I desire to consider how that argument stands to day, after the storm and fury of that controversy has abated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scientific Lectures and Essays This little book, including the greater part of this Preface, has shaped itself out of lectures given to the young men of the city of Chester. But it does not deal, in its present form, with the geology of the neighbourhood of Chester only. I have tried so to recast it that any townsman, at least in the manufacturing districts of England and Scotland, may learn from it to judge, roughly perhaps, but on the whole accurately, of the rocks and soils of his own neighbourhood. He will find, it is true, in these pages, little or nothing about those "Old Red Sandstones," so interesting to a Scotchman; and he will have to bear in mind, if he belong to the coal districts of Scotland, that the "stones in the wall" there belong to much older rocks than those "New Red Sandstones" of which this book treats; and that the coal measures of Scotland, with the volcanic rocks which have disturbed them, are often very different in appearance to the English coal measures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A short, provocative book about why "useless" science often leads to humanity's greatest technological breakthroughs A forty-year tightening of funding for scientific research has meant that resources are increasingly directed toward applied or practical outcomes, with the intent of creating products of immediate value. In such a scenario, it makes sense to focus on the most identifiable and urgent problems, right? Actually, it doesn't. In his classic essay "The Usefulness of Useless Knowledge," Abraham Flexner, the founding director of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and the man who helped bring Albert Einstein to the United States, describes a great paradox of scientific research. The search for answers to deep questions, motivated solely by curiosity and without concern for applications, often leads not only to the greatest scientific discoveries but also to the most revolutionary technological breakthroughs. In short, no quantum mechanics, no computer chips. This brief book includes Flexner's timeless 1939 essay alongside a new companion essay by Robbert Dijkgraaf, the Institute's current director, in which he shows that Flexner's defense of the value of "the unobstructed pursuit of useless knowledge" may be even more relevant today than it was in the early twentieth century. Dijkgraaf describes how basic research has led to major transformations in the past century and explains why it is an essential precondition of innovation and the first step in social and cultural change. He makes the case that society can achieve deeper understanding and practical progress today and tomorrow only by truly valuing and substantially funding the curiosity-driven "pursuit of useless knowledge" in both the sciences and the humanities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Probable Infinity of Nature and Life: Three Essays It is almost as much on account of the super-history furnished by these essays as on account of what is said in them that I am now publishing them. They were not written with any definite purpose Of publication. The ones on spontaneous generation and multiple causes were prepared as addresses for scientific societies. That on the infinity Of nature was written mainly to enable me to see where my biological development was tending as touching other domains Of knowledge. TO state more specifically why I now publish the essays essentially as they were written, I find on approaching the completion Of the Unity of the Orgamm, that I need the essays in print, partly as record and partly as super-record. What I am writing now in the larger work, I want to attach directly to what I wrote earlier about the origin of life and to do so without rewrit ing the Old essay and incorporating it as a section in the later book.

This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on the Use and Limit of the Imagination in Science To a Second Edition of a Discourse on the Scientific Use of the Imagination, delivered before the British Association at Liverpool on September 16, 1870, are here added an Address on the Limit of the Imagination in Science, delivered before the Mathematical and Physical Section of the Association at Norwich on August 19, 1868, and a short Essay, entitled 'Earlier Thoughts.' The Address and the Essay were meant to be brief, but definite statements of the relation of Life and Consciousness to Matter and Force. As in the case of the recent Discourse, opinion was divided with regard to the objects and merits of the Norwich Address. On the one hand, two eminent clergymen, one of the Church of England, the other a Dissenter, proposed and seconded respectively a vote of thanks, which was liberally carried by the section; on the other hand, I was publicly warned that, as a consequence of my impiety, the bolts of heaven were in a state of potential suspension above my head, ready to descend if further drawn upon. My main object, both at Norwich and at Liverpool, was, firstly, to dissipate the repugnance, and indeed terror, which in many minds are associated with the thought that science has abolished the mystery of mans relation to the universe; and, secondly, to remove the hindrance which popular notions regarding the origin of life oppose to legitimate scientific speculation.
