The surprising history of the scientific method-from an
evolutionary account of thinking to a simple set of steps-and the
rise of psychology in the nineteenth century. The idea of a single
scientific method, shared across specialties and teachable to
ten-year-olds, is just over a hundred years old. For centuries
prior, science had meant a kind of knowledge, made from facts
gathered through direct observation or deduced from first
principles. But during the nineteenth century, science came to mean
something else: a way of thinking. The Scientific Method tells the
story of how this approach took hold in laboratories, the field,
and eventually classrooms, where science was once taught as a
natural process. Henry M. Cowles reveals the intertwined histories
of evolution and experiment, from Charles Darwin's theory of
natural selection to John Dewey's vision for science education.
Darwin portrayed nature as akin to a man of science, experimenting
through evolution, while his followers turned his theory onto the
mind itself. Psychologists reimagined the scientific method as a
problem-solving adaptation, a basic feature of cognition that had
helped humans prosper. This was how Dewey and other educators
taught science at the turn of the twentieth century-but their
organic account was not to last. Soon, the scientific method was
reimagined as a means of controlling nature, not a product of it.
By shedding its roots in evolutionary theory, the scientific method
came to seem far less natural, but far more powerful. This book
reveals the origin of a fundamental modern concept. Once seen as a
natural adaptation, the method soon became a symbol of science's
power over nature, a power that, until recently, has rarely been
called into question.
