Uichiro Nakaya's book "The Method of Science," published in 1958 by Iwanami Shinsho, is a renowned work on the philosophy of science. The book, by the physicist known for the phrase "Snow is a letter sent from the sky," explains the essence and way of thinking about science in an accessible manner for the general public, based on his research experience. Main Contents and Features: Emphasis on Experimentation and Observation: It emphasizes that science is not merely the accumulation of knowledge, but a process of asking appropriate "questions" to nature and deriving answers. Hypothesis and Verification: It explains the process of "scientific thinking," how to formulate hypotheses to discover the laws behind phenomena and how to verify them through experiments. Limitations and Possibilities of Science: It advocates a humble attitude that science is not omnipotent and always has the possibility of being revised, while also emphasizing the importance of intellectual curiosity to explore unknown areas. Reverence for Nature: It attempts to integrate the Japanese view of nature, which accepts the complexity and beauty of nature as it is, with Western scientific methods, not just an analytical perspective. Why It's Read Now: Even in 2026, with the spread of AI and big data, the ability to discern the correctness of information and logically organize complex events is essential. This book is highly regarded as a book that cultivates the foundation of thinking about "how to see things," regardless of the presence or absence of specialized knowledge.
