The tendency to generalization, which to a greater or lesser extent have
all minds, and without which, indeed, intelligence cannot exist, has
its inevitable inconveniences. Only through her can be achieved
true, but it almost inevitably involves us in
misleading. Without the desire to argue about every new case that
was true in the cases due to observation, rational thinking
it would be impossible. Meanwhile, it is necessary to strive to constantly
makes people make based on a limited number of experiments, such
the provisions, which they mistakenly ascribe to a universal and unconditional loyalty.
On the one hand, however, this circumstance hardly can be viewed as
evil, because without premature generalizations we never would have come to
true generalizations. If in order to formulate the facts, we
waited until they are all assembled, unorganized mass of accumulated
the facts would be so great that we would not be able to cope. Only
using temporary group, they can be given in this order in
which become available further development, and this time
grouping is only another name for the provisional generalization.
A great example of how consistently people follow this path and what
the necessary steps to truth is a fallacy, is the story
astronomy. The heavenly bodies describe circles around the Earth, said the earliest
observers, based in part on visible facts, and partly on what they
it was known from experience about the movements taking place on the ground near the centers.
Taking in the absence of any other view, all such
for circular motion, they likened them and the movement of celestial bodies. Without this
preliminary views, no matter how mistaken it was, it would be impossible
comparison of provisions, which showed that the movement of heavenly bodies is not
to represent circles, and led to the hypothesis of epicycles and eccentrics. Only
using this hypothesis, it is equally wrong, but giving a better explanation
visible phenomena and thus leading to more accurate observations,
only with the help of this hypothesis became possible for Copernicus to prove that
the heliocentric theory is more plausible than the geocentric, and Kepler -
that planets move around the Sun in ellipses. Again, without this
approximate truth revealed by Kepler, Newton could not reaching the
the General law which showed that the movement of heavenly bodies around
your center of gravity does not occur necessarily on the ellipse, but may
occur and any other conic. Finally, only
after the law of gravity was checked, it became possible to determine
the actual paths of the planets, their old men and comets, and to prove that due to
perturbations of the orbit are always more or less deviate from the right path
line. In these successive theories we may trace how the desire,
the human mind to skip from few data to a wide
generalizations, appearing later on, or completely wrong, or
valid only partly, and the need for these transitional generalizations
employees steps to a final synthesis.
