"On the Philosophy of Discovery, Chapters Historical and Critical" by William Whewell were intended to present to the reader a view of the steps by which those portions of human knowledge which are held to be most certain and stable have been acquired. Each of these steps was a scientific Discovery in which a new conception was applied in order to bind together observed facts. This book discusses the philosophy of making discoveries and how they become salient parts of life.
