Scientific research is viewed as a deliberate activity and the
logic of discovery consists of strategies and arguments whereby the
best objectives (questions) and optimal means for achieving these
objectives (heuristics) are chosen. This book includes a discussion
and some proposals regarding the way the logic of questions can be
applied to understanding scientific research and draws upon work in
artificial intelligence in a discussion of heuristics and methods
for appraising heuristics (metaheuristics). It also includes a
discussion of a third source for scientific objectives and
heuristics; episodes and examplars from the history of science and
the history of philosophy. This book is written to be accessible to
advanced students in philosophy and to the scientific community. It
is of interest to philosophers of science, philosophers of biology,
historians of physics, and historians of biology.
