Нужно ли погружаться в философские основания методологии научного исследования для того, чтобы быть хорошим учёным? Слово Сантьяго Рамон-и-Кахалю:
It would not be wise in discussing general principles of research to overlook those panaceas of scientiac method so highly recommended by Claude Bernard, which are to be found in Bacon’s Novum Organum and Descartes’s Book of Methods. They are exceptionally good at stimulating thought, but are much less effective in teaching one how to discover. After confessing that reading them may suggest a fruitful idea or two, I must further confess an inclination to share De Maistre’s view of the Novum Organum: “Those who have made the greatest discoveries in science never read it, and Bacon himself failed to make a single discovery based on his own rules.” Liebig appears even more harsh in his celebrated Academic Discourse when he states that Bacon was a scientiac dilettante whose writings contain nothing of the processes leading to discovery, regardless of inoated praise from jurists, historians, and others far removed from science.
…
I believe that the slight advantage gained from reading such work, and in general any work concerned with philosophical methods of investigation, is based on the vague, general nature of the rules they express. In other words, when they are not simply empty formulas they become formal expressions of the mechanism of understanding used during the process of research. This mechanism acts unconsciously in every well-organized and cultivated mind, and when the philosopher reoexly formulates psychological principles, neither the author nor the reader can improve their respective abilities for scientiac investigation. Those writing on logical methods impress me in the same way as would a speaker attempting to improve his eloquence by learning about brain speech centers, about voice mechanics, and about the distribution of nerves to the larynx—as if knowing these anatomical and physiological details would create organization where none exists, or reane what we already have.
