The methodology of concomitant variations - Antonella Vannini - Bog

When applied to life the experimental method shows noteworthy limitations. It can study only cause and effect relations and needs quantitative data. These requirements have confined life sciences to a materialistic approach. In 1843, John Stuart Mill described the methodology of concomitant variations, which provides an alternative to the experimental method.The aim of this book is to offer a critical description of the experimental methodology, introduce the methodology of concomitant variations and provide a software, for free download, which makes this methodology readily available.
