F. S. C. Northrop’s Science and First Principles (1931) explores the philosophical foundations underlying scientific inquiry. Northrop examines how fundamental principles shape scientific reasoning, emphasizing the interplay between empirical observation and theoretical interpretation. The book discusses the logical structures that guide scientific methods and addresses the relationship between science and philosophy in the pursuit of truth. Through rigorous analysis, Northrop seeks to clarify how first principles influence the formulation of scientific laws and concepts.
