By providing an overview of the development of empiricism from Ockham to van Fraassen the book lays the foundation for its own version of empiricism. Empiricism for the author consists of three ideas: nominalism, i.e. dismissing second order quantification as unnecessary, epistemological naturalism, and viewing classification of things in natural kinds as a human habit not in need for any justification.</p><p>The book offers views on the realism-antirealism debate as well as on the individuation of theories as a thoroughly neglected aspect of underdetermination. The book next discusses a broad range of topics, including the predicates <em>body, spatial distance</em> and <em>time interval</em>, the ontology of electromagnetism, propensities, the measurement problem and other philosophical issues in quantum theory. Discussions about the direction of time and about string theory make up the final part of thebook.</p>...3110171Empiricism and Philosophy of Physics21472385https://www.gandhi.com.mx/empiricism-and-philosophy-of-physics-9783030649531/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3659088/ddf3679f-51d7-4c1c-91b9-4e1a6047ac03.jpg?v=638385691025600000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20219783030649531_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_<p>This book presents a thoroughly empiricist account of physics.
