The Significance of the Hypothetical in Natural Science
Michael Heidelberger & Gregor Schiemann (eds.)
De Gruyter (2009)
Abstract
How was the hypothetical character of theories of experience thought about throughout the history of science? The essays cover periods from the middle ages to the 19th and 20th centuries. It is fascinating to see how natural scientists and philosophers were increasingly forced to realize that a natural science without hypotheses is not possible.Author Profiles
