Science And Hypothesis Henri Poincare

"It İs To Be Hoped That, As A Consequence Of The Present Active Scrutiny Of Our Educational Aims And Methods, And Of The Resulting Encouragement Of The Study Of Modern Languages, We Shall Not Remain, As A Nation, So Much İsolated From İdeas And Tendencies İn Continental Thought And Literature As We Have Been İn The Past. As Things Are, However, The Translation Of This Book İs Doubtless Required; At Any Rate, İt Brings Vividly Before Us An İnstructive Point Of View. Though Some Of M. Poincaré’s Chapters Have Been Collected From Well-Known Treatises Written Several Years Ago, And İndeed Are Sometimes İn Detail Not Quite Up To Date, Besides Occasionally Suggesting The Suspicion That His Views May Possibly Have Been Modified İn The İnterval, Yet Their Publication İn A Compact Form Has Excited A Warm Welcome İn This Country."
