Some Reflections on Philosophy of Science Granted, however, there have always been academicians interested in these fields: the history and philosophy of science. In some universities and colleges the history of science was sharply distinguished from the so-called philosophy of science, and today almost all academic institutions in this co

Nonempirical Criteria in the Development of Sciencerge on “truth” or “objective reality” in its path of evolution, successive theories could be defined as constituting progress by being more true, or more conformant to reality, than their predecessors.

On a Circularity in Our Knowledge of the Physically Reald, is this: is there an essential circularity in our knowledge of the physical world? If so, does it matter? That is, does it have a systematically self-defeating effect on our attempts to understand that world? It will be seen as we proceed that a similar question can be raised for all claims to kn

His manner of combining exact physics with equally exact philosophy is in itself an eminent contribution to the concept of logical fertility which he has introduced. The considerations which follow set themselves the task of establishing a connection between Margenau’s idea of the .-fiel

It was in the late 1940s that Margenau first discussed his “theory of latent variables”— later to become “epistemological feedback.” He was, I believe, pointing toward what had to be reckoned w

However, the editors wish to claim that this Festschrift is different. This is so first of all because of the almost u

The Measurement Act in Quantum Physicsd Copenhagen school extrapolated idealism into solipsism until the orthodox natural philosophy of quantum physics had degenerated to a subjectivistic blend of physics and psychology wherein physical states of physical systems could be altered by the mere deliverance of information into the consciousness of the experimenter.
