Causality as an Overarching Principle in Physics
PSA: Proceedings of the Biennial Meeting of the Philosophy of Science Association 1986:3 - 11 (1986)
| Abstract | Many factors are operative in the scientific enterprise to provide the epistemic warrant which finally convinces people to accept a scientific theory. The methods, goals and meanings of terms do not remain fixed, but evolve over time. This paper concentrates on one aspect of this shifting pattern of scientific practice - the role and meaning of causality in modern physics. | |||||||||
