...consideration, thereby simplifying the scientist's task. Newton said that "the Investigation of difficult Things by the Method of Analysis, Ought ever to precede the Method of Composition" ([1704] 1931, 404). Newton apparently believed that such a strategy was necessitated by human cognitive... | |

...the received view of those methods. We should not interpret Kant as echoing the received view that "the Method of Analysis ought ever to precede the Method of Composition" (Newton 1952, 405). When Kant says, for example, at KRV, A 10/B 14, that "analytic judgements are very... | |
