  Animal Experimentation: The Legacy of Claude Bernard
Since Bernard was a thoughtful and theoretically sophisticated scientist who was trying to lay the foundations of scientific physiology using intuitions based on the best science of his day (more so, we think, than many current scientific defenders of animal experimentation), the reliance on Bernard seems reasonable.
Bernard was sensitive to the distinction between the context of discovery and the context of justification.
Bernard's particular understanding of hypothetico-deductivism, coupled with his rejection of all statistical laws, led him to assume that clinical medicine (including epidemiological studies) could never be a genuine science.

Bernard, first of all, believed strongly in the necessity of always having a working hypothesis, derived from perusal of the literature and observation of natural phenomena, before starting on the experiment proper.
Bernard, like a great general who maps and executes a campaign by striking at the vital points of the enemy hosts, and takes only those positions which have to be taken to bring decisive victory, never wasted any time on experiments which were not essential to his progress.
Bernard had an extraordinary capacity for extracting from his results the most general and far-reaching conclusions that could be solidly supported by them; hence, his role as a progenitor in so many branches of the biological sciences.

Cziko examines in particular perceptual control theory, which has its roots in Bernard's work on the self-regulating nature of living organisms and in the work of engineers who developed the field of cybernetics during and after World War II.
Writing in an accessible style, Cziko shows how the lessons of Bernard and Darwin, updated with the best of current scientific knowledge, can provide solutions to certain long-standing theoretical and practical problems in behavioral science and enable us to develop new methods and topics for research.
A major reason for this slow progress, claims Gary Cziko, is that with few exceptions, behavioral and cognitive scientists continue to apply a Newtonian-inspired view of animate behavior as an organism's output determined by environmental input.
