Scientific Epistemology:-
"An Instance of the Fingerpost" - Iain Peers.
I think you'll find its origins contained in this.

| I wanted to add one more criterion:
|
| I'm specifically looking for the thinkers and books that are not only
| highly original but also under-appreciated and not as widely known as
| they deserve to be. For instance, Aristotle, Plato, and Darwin will
| not make this list as their work is well known and universally
| recognized.

| I would like to get opinions on what were the most profound books and
| thinkers on scientific epistemology you have encountered. By this I
| mean a work that totally changed the way you look at the world and at
| science. Below is my list. I would be grateful for your additions. I
| am really looking for works that are novel and different, orthogonal
| to the ones I listed. For example, I included Bertalanffy's General
| System Theory so I do not want the many, many other books on General
| System Theory.
