Hardback. Condición: New. A renowned philosopher's final work, illuminating how the logical empiricist tradition has failed to appreciate the role of actual experiments in forming its philosophy of science.The logical empiricist treatment of physics dominated twentieth-century philosophy of science. But the logical empiricist tradition, for all it accomplished, does not do justice to the way in which empirical evidence functions in modern physics.In his final work, the late philosopher of science William Demopoulos contends that philosophers have failed to provide an adequate epistemology of science because they have failed to appreciate the tightly woven character of theory and evidence. As a consequence, theory comes apart from evidence. This trouble is nowhere more evident than in theorizing about particle and quantum physics. Arguing that we must consider actual experiments as they have unfolded across history, Demopoulos provides a new epistemology of theories and evidence, albeit one that stands on the shoulders of giants.On Theories finds clarity in Isaac Newton's suspicion of mere "hypotheses." Newton's methodology lies in the background of Jean Perrin's experimental investigations of molecular reality and of the subatomic investigations of J. J. Thomson and Robert Millikan. Demopoulos extends this account to offer novel insights into the distinctive nature of quantum reality, where a logico-mathematical reconstruction of Bohrian complementarity meets John Stewart Bell's empirical analysis of Einstein's "local realism." On Theories ultimately provides a new interpretation of quantum probabilities as themselves objectively representing empirical reality. …

Condición: Very Good. : En su obra final, el reconocido filósofo de la ciencia William Demopoulos examina cómo la tradición del empirismo lógico no ha logrado apreciar adecuadamente el papel de los experimentos reales en la formación de la filosofía de la ciencia. Demopoulos argumenta que los filósofos han fallado al proporcionar una epistemología sólida debido a que no han comprendido la estrecha relación entre la teoría y la evidencia empírica, un problema particularmente evidente en la física de partículas y la mecánica cuántica.El autor propone una nueva epistemología de las teorías científicas, apoyándose en la metodología de Isaac Newton y extendiéndola para ofrecer perspectivas novedosas sobre la naturaleza de la realidad cuántica. A través de un análisis que conecta la reconstrucción lógico-matemática de la complementariedad de Bohr con el análisis empírico de John Stewart Bell sobre el realismo local de Einstein, Demopoulos ofrece una interpretación innovadora de las probabilidades cuánticas como representaciones objetivas de la realidad empírica.

Paperback. Condición: New. The idea that mathematics is reducible to logic has a long history, but it was Frege who gave logicism an articulation and defense that transformed it into a distinctive philosophical thesis with a profound influence on the development of philosophy in the twentieth century. This volume of classic, revised and newly written essays by William Demopoulos examines logicism's principal legacy for philosophy: its elaboration of notions of analysis and reconstruction. The essays reflect on the deployment of these ideas by the principal figures in the history of the subject - Frege, Russell, Ramsey and Carnap - and in doing so illuminate current concerns about the nature of mathematical and theoretical knowledge. Issues addressed include the nature of arithmetical knowledge in the light of Frege's theorem; the status of realism about the theoretical entities of physics; and the proper interpretation of empirical theories that postulate abstract structural constraints.…
