Empiricism and Philosophy of Physics

Více o knize

The book offers a comprehensive empirical perspective on physics, tracing the evolution of empiricism from Ockham to van Fraassen. It establishes a unique interpretation of empiricism centered on three core concepts: nominalism, which rejects second-order quantification; epistemological naturalism; and the classification of natural kinds as a human habit that does not require justification. This framework aims to reshape the understanding of empirical philosophy in the context of scientific inquiry.
