some of the most important debates in the history of scientific method center on: rationalism, especially as advocated by rené descartes; inductivism, which rose to particular prominence with isaac newton and his followers; and hypothetico-deductivism, which came to the fore in the early 19th century. in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a debate over realism vs. antirealism was central to discussions of scientific method as powerful scientific theories extended beyond the realm of the observable, while in the mid-20th century some prominent philosophers argued against any universal rules of science at all.
