The topic of this book is described in the first few pages of
the opening chapter. It concerns what may be the least expected
turn of scientific thought in twenty-five centuries.
Should this return to a remote past-for that is what the most
recent philosophy of science really is-be generally accepted,
our descendants a few generations hence will look back on
us and our science as incredibly unenlightened.
Not much of the proposed substitute for the scientific
method as commonly understood has been discussed outside
professional scientific circles. An untechnical account of the
origins and progress of the new approach to nature may therefore
be of interest to those who do not make their livings at
science. It will appear that the new and the old are strangely
alike.
For valuable criticisms and suggestions I am indebted to
many friends, professional and other. Though I alone am
responsible for what finally got written down, I should like
especially to thank Eleanor Bohnenblust, Frederic Bohnenblust,
Mary Mayo, and Las16 Zechmeister for their patience
and helpfulness with it all, and Nina Jo Reeves for preparing
the manuscript for publication. For permission to reprint the
excerpts that appeared in Scripta Mathematica, I am indebted
to the editors of Scripta.
