This little book was extremely influentual in the science world and with the general public early in the 20th century and is still published and a great benefit to today's reader. Even the least curious among us have probably heard Poincare's name bandied about in the past few years' newspapers (Poincre's Conjecture) and most of us have at least heard of Einstein's theory of relativity. Poincare not only had an immense influence on Einstein, he 'almost' had the theory of relativity worked out for himself before Einstein.
Science and Method should be a required read by any student of science or philosophy, and it won't hurt the rest of us to broaden and deepen our views.
As a side note for any chaos theory aficionados out there; this book is where Poincare discussed some of the basics dynamical systems and why he is sometimes called the "father of chaos theory". ( )
