The other challenge to the belief that science is primarily logical comes from its own practice. First of all, the success of science cannot be explained if we look at science primarily as something logical. Science creates its concepts in ways that draws upon different types of intuition. For example, in physics some concepts are physically intuitive while some are mathematically intuitive.
Science cannot be reduced to logic. Even mathematics couldn't be although there is much more in mathematics which is purely about logic. Descartes could not create physics that Newton did because he made one cardinal mistake : he thought that physics was reducible to mathematics and it was 'part' of mathematics.
