First published in 1967, The Art of the Soluble presents collection
of essays giving the views of the author on creativity and
originality in science and on the logical connections between
creative and critical thought. It is also a pioneering study of the
ethology of the scientists - of the anatomy of scientific
behaviour. Is it true that scientists are detached or dispassionate
observers of Nature? What underlies the scientist's deep concern
over the matters of priority? How did a class distinction grow up
between pure and applied science? By what criteria do scientists
value their own and their colleagues work? Some of the answers grow
out of author's four critical studies of Teilhard de Chardin,
Arthur Koestler, D'Arcy Thompson and Herbert Spencer and the book
as whole is knit together by a major essay Hypothesis and
Imagination, on the nature of scientific reasoning. P. B. Medawar,
who won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1960, did not see science
as a book-keeping of Nature but, on the contrary, as the greatest
of human adventures. This book will be an essential read for
scholars and researchers of philosophy of Science, natural science,
and philosophy in general
