Know about the book -

To Save the Phenomena is written by Pierre Duhem and published by University of Chicago Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0226162311 (ISBN 10) and 9780226162317 (ISBN 13).

Duhem's 1908 essay questions the relation between physical theory and metaphysics and, more specifically, between astronomy and physics–an issue still of importance today. He critiques the answers given by Greek thought, Arabic science, medieval Christian scholasticism, and, finally, the astronomers of the Renaissance.
