Description
This thesis traces the development of the philosophy of science from the Enlightenment to the twentieth century through a comparative study of major thinkers, including Bacon, Descartes, Newton, Hume, Kant, Einstein, and Bohr. It examines changing views on scientific knowledge, laws, and induction, arguing that science evolved from a search for certain causal truths into a dynamic, theory-driven framework for interpreting experience.
