Whewell (1 jan 1794 ano – 1 jan 1866 ano)

Descrição:

Whewell (1794 - 1866), a philosopher who attempted to update the philosophy of Bacon
-Whewell believed that the inductive processes could lead to absolute proof and that science could generate unbreakable truth. Whilst this
view is not used by modern scientists, who understand that scientists can only work with probabilities, it is important to remember that most of these philosophers and scientists believed firmly in God. The history of the philosophy of science shows that most philosophers also believed in God, and that the laws of the universe had some perfection that empiricism and rationalism could uncover.
