Hence, when science sheds the physical interpretation off its mathematical skeleton as time and refutation catch up with it, the scientist is not really caught in error, for he never was committed to this interpretation in the first place. This is the apologetic essence of present day, Popper-like, versions of the idea of science as a mathematical-core-cum-interpretational shell. This is also Cohen‘s view, for it aims to free Newton of any existential commitment to which his theory might allegedly commit him. It will be readily seen that Cohen regards this methodological distinction between mathematics and physics to be the backbone of the Newtonian revolution in science (which is, in its tum, the climax of the whole Scientific Revolution) for a ve | 出版日期 | Book 1982 | 关键词 | Interpretation; Issac Newton; Karl R; Popper; evolution; idea; interpret; issue; manuscript; manuscripts; mat | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-009-7715-0 | isbn_softcover | 978-94-009-7717-4 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-009-7715-0 | copyright | D.
