Sherlock Holmes and science


I am aware of the scientific methods called induction and deduction. But only after reading book "How to make sociological knowledge" I started to think about those two methods in connection with Sherlock Holmes.

Since my childhood (when I read all books by Arthur C. Doyle) I always talked about Sherlock Holmes as of one of the best DETECTIVEs or masters of DEDUCTION. But in fact, as Milan Disman correctly mentioned in his book, Sherlock Holmes was master of INDUCTION.

Funny. :o)
