Hypothetico-deductive systems

It is well-known that reasoning in natural and engineering science involves complex structures of hypothetico-deductive systems where principles, laws, and empirical generalizations are hierarchically ordered with respect to epistemological significance. We will briefly discuss such systems and their role in scientific... [Pg.181]

Thus, the scientific activity consisted at that time in many other things than descriptions and deductions within hypothetico-deductive systems. [Pg.188]

When it comes to the study of more concrete phenomena like the strength of various materials, for instance steel and concrete, we find laws at a still lower level. It is not possible to deduce the strength properties of conaete within a weU-defined hypothetico-deductive system. We are, in a way, in a similar situation as Bohr was in when he studied the nature of light emission. The laws which control say the... [Pg.190]
