Abstract :
The famous French philosopher and historian of science Emile Meyerson (1859-1933) was born in Poland and educated as a scientist in chemistry, who mainly wrote on philosophy of science, history of science and general epistemology. His main interest is the nature of thought as illustrated in its successful outcomes. As such, an analysis of the history of science would serve Meyerson’s object for understanding reason and its works. Meyerson asserts that the history of science apprehended some of the finest examples of the powers and behaviours of human reason at work. He states that it must be recalled that an inquiry or a study is always governed by preconceived ideas, to wit, by assumptions, theories and hypotheses, which are essential to lead our progress. Hence, we are never completely free of them.
