- Summary:
- The scientific method is just over a hundred years old. From debates about the evolution of the human mind to the rise of instrumental reasoning, Henry M. Cowles shows how the idea of a single “scientific method” emerged from a turn inward by psychologists that produced powerful epistemological and historical effects that are still with us today.
