+<blockquote>**Abstract**
+The paper deals with some historical and philosophical aspects of the emergence and development of the scientific method. First, the very definition of the scientific method is given and then the birth of the method initiated with Galileo's experimental work and the Bacon's induction is discussed. The paper then continues with the Newton's mechanics, his //actio in distans// concept, his idea of absolute space and time and Leibniz critics of Newton approach. What comes next is development of thermodynamics and electromagnetism featuring the notion of classical field and abandoning of actio in distans concept. This is followed by the philosophical insight beyond the theory of relativity and the quantum physics. \\ Finally, some essential relations between philosophy and science are stressed out. Also, possible limitations of the scientific method are underlined.
