It is often said that there is no "philosophy of science", but only the philosophies of certain scientists. But in so far as we recognize an authoritative body of opinion which decides what is and what is not accepted as present-day physics, there is an ascertainable present-day philosophy of physical science. It is the philosophy to which those who follow the accepted practice of science stand committed by their practice. This book contains the substance of the course of lectures which the author Eddington delivered as Tarner Lecturer of Trinity College Cambridge in the Easter Term 1938. The lectures have afforded him an opportunity of developing more fully than in his earlier books the principles of philosophic thought associated with the modern advances of physical science.

Arthur Penrhyn Stanley was a canon of Canterbury when he published this work - four essays on the history of the cathedral - in 1855. Taking events associated with Canterbury, he puts them in a wider historical context, describing the locations in which they were enacted, and including fascinating details from literary sources.

Was Max Planck für die Naturwissenschaft in Deutschland bedeutete, leistete Arthur S. Eddington für die englischsprachige Welt. Er war einer der ersten Brückenbauer zwischen der Naturwissenschaft und den geistigen Einsichten der großen Weisen aller Zeiten und Überlieferungen. Seine Programmschrift über die Wissenschaft und die unsichtbaren Welten wirkte als wegweisende Inspiration und beeinflusst noch heute den Dialog zwischen den Natur- und den Geisteswissenschaften. Ein einzigartiges Dokument von weiser Voraussicht für den Ansatz einer GROSSEN SYNTHESE der Wissenschaften!

The book delves into Arthur Eddington's exploration of the intersection between science and religion, particularly through his experiences testing Einstein's Theory of Relativity during the 1919 eclipse. As a lifelong Quaker, Eddington emphasizes the importance of seeking knowledge and understanding in both realms. His 1929 Swarthmore Lecture argues that true comprehension of science and religion requires prioritizing the pursuit of truth, highlighting the shared quest for understanding that transcends disciplinary boundaries.
