Summary
 The notion that all scientists have more
brain than us is false
We all have power of reasoning and can
learn from our experiences
summary We tend to discover new things and
facts through the operation of inductive
and deductive philosophy
So, what is inductive and deductive
philosophy?
summary Arguments based experience or observations are
expressed inductively
Example- the boys in your class are tall so college
boys are tall
Arguments based on laws, rules or other widely
accepted behaviors are expressed deductively
Example- all humans have heart, Sadikshya is a
human so she has a heart
 More of inductive and deductive philosophy is
described by the writer through example of apple

contd..
Thus, all human beings are capable of
using logic at normal conditions which
proves we’re all scientists
Interpretation
Capable of using logics
Certain action produces
certain effect
Highlights experimental
verification
Science is a process all
humans use to discover
new things
 We constantly test our
surrounding to find new
information
Conclusion

 The method of scientific investigation is nothing but the

expression of the necessary mode of working of the human
mind. It is simply the mode at which all phenomena are
reasoned about, rendered precise and exact.
 We all learn from experiences
 No any hypothesis is untrustworthy

Writer wants to says there is no more
difference, between the mental operations of
scientist and of a man ordinary person
the operations and the thought process of a
butcher is as complex as of a chemist trying to
solve his complex chemical equations
