Reading The Philosophy of the Inductive Sciences | Alexandria
Read The Philosophy of the Inductive Sciences by William Whewell.

His radical insight - that all knowledge requires both observed data and mental invention - transformed how we understand discovery itself. Mind-bending yet vital for navigating today's data-driven world.
