On Theories: Logical Empiricism and the Methodology of Modern Physics Demopoulos William
A renowned philosopher's final work, illuminating how the logical empiricist tradition has failed to appreciate the role of actual experiments in forming its philosophy of science.The logical empiricist treatment of physics dominated twentieth-century philosophy of science. As a consequence, theory comes apart from evidence. But the logical empiricist tradition, for all it accomplished, does not do justice to the way in which empirical evidence functions in modern physics.In his final work, the late philosopher of science William Demopoulos contends that philosophers have failed to provide an adequate epistemology of science because they have failed to appreciate the tightly woven character of theory and evidence.
Arguing that we must consider actual experiments as they have This trouble is nowhere more evident than in theorizing about particle and quantum physics.
