Introduction to Scientific Thinking
Introduction to Scientific Thinking aims to arouse the reader's 'love of knowledge' and gain the habit of 'scientific thinking'. In the face of the 'longing thoughts' spread by religion, morality, politics and ideologies, Hüseyin Batuhan proposes to be equipped with the tools of 'knowledge'. The basic problems of theoretical philosophy are the difference between knowledge and belief, question and problem, ancient origins of knowledge, logic and propositions; It proposes to look at practical philosophy and the scientific and non-scientific beliefs, documentation, evolution theory and democracy discussions that are reflected in our age, with a critical and scientific thinking.
Logician and philosopher of science Hüseyin Batuhan, in an understandable and concise style, addresses readers who want to get into philosophy and scientific thinking: "If the slightest enthusiasm for philosophy, or rather 'thinking', arises in you, I will not have written this book in vain. I wish you success in this new adventure you are embarking on for the first time."
The Birth of Scientific Philosophy
Hans Reichenbach's The Birth of Scientific Philosophy has perhaps become one of the most read books in the field of philosophy of science by a wide range of intellectuals. One reason for this is that the book is written in an extremely clear, simple and understandable language, and another reason is the confidence and weight of the author's scientific personality. Reichenbach is an outstanding philosopher, but also a scientist. In this identity of his, we find the main feature that shapes his view of philosophy.

Science and Hypothesis
What is this thing called mass that somehow enters all physics equations? Can space have more than three dimensions? Should we be afraid that the laws of physics will change tomorrow? In Science and Hypothesis, Henri Poincare (1854-1912) answers all these questions and many more about science. Poincare, who lived in those exciting and golden years of science when electricity was combined with optics, the speed of light was newly measured (with a non-astronomical method), and the break in Newtonian mechanics was now beginning to be seen, is remembered in today's science not only for the few equations or methods he named, but also for his general view and attitude towards science. We would certainly not be going too far if we say that Poincaré, one of the founders of conventionalism in science, determined today's understanding of science more than a hundred years ago. Positive or negative, there is no possibility that this book will not change the reader's view of science.
Value of Science
“Every action must have a purpose. We must suffer, we must toil, we must pay the price for our place in the game, but all this is for the sake of seeing, or at least for others to see one day.
Everything that is not thought is pure non-existence, for we can only think thoughts, and all the words we have to speak of things can only express thoughts; This means that saying that there is something other than thought is an acceptance that cannot be meaningful.
However, there is a strange paradox for those who believe in time; Geological history shows us that life is a short adventure between two eternities of death. Even in this adventure conscious thought has existed and will exist only for a moment. Thought is just a light burning in the middle of a long night.
But this light is everything.”
Space, Time and Motion from Copernicus to Einstein
This book purports to be a small introduction to the big problems of space, time and motion. People have been thinking about space and time with great interest and even fanaticism for more time than can be remembered.
Why do we need to know whether the Sun revolves around the Earth or vice versa?
What about us?
As soon as we raise these questions, we realize their stupidity. The answer is simple: We don't want to move blindly through the universe. We want more than 'just existing'. We need these cosmic perspectives to experience a sense of our place in the universe.
This valuable work of the famous philosopher of science Hans Reichenbach covers everything from Ptolemy to Copernicus and Galileo; It deals with the history of space, time and motion from Newton to Einstein in a clear style.
