Book Overview

The Ultimate Generalization: An Effort In The Philosophy Of Science is a philosophical book written by John Lord Peck and originally published in 1876. The book explores the concept of generalization in science and how it is used to create theories and make predictions. Peck argues that the ultimate generalization in science is the law of causation, which states that every effect has a cause. He goes on to discuss the limitations of generalization, noting that it can sometimes lead to oversimplification and the neglect of important details. The book also touches on the role of induction and deduction in scientific reasoning, as well as the relationship between science and metaphysics. Overall, The Ultimate Generalization is a thought-provoking work that delves into the nature of scientific inquiry and the limits of human knowledge.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
