To Save the Phenomena: An Essay on the Idea of Physical Theory from Plato to Galileo

2015 | Science & Mathematics

Duhem's 1908 essay questions the relation between physical theory and metaphysics and, more specifically, between astronomy and physics-an issue still of importance today. He critiques the answers given by Greek thought, Arabic science, medieval Christian scholasticism, and, finally, the astronomers of the Renaissance.
