Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Philosophy of Medical Science, Considered With Special Reference to Dr. Elisha Bartlett's "Essay on the Philosophy of Medical Science" A Boylston Prize Essay, 1849
The common idea of the philosophy of science is doubtless the true one. In accordance with this idea of it, science embraces, I. Certain Primary Truths, or fundamental principles, upon which all its reasonings are based. These belong to each of the sciences in com mon with all the others. Two of the more important, only, need be mentioned here. One is the principle or law of causation, that every beginning or change of existence has a cause. The other is the principle or law of uniformity, that matter and mind have uniform and fixed laws, that all the processes of nature take place in accordance with uniform and permanent laws.
