Quantum theory and the schism in physics (The Postscript to The logic of scientific discovery / as edited by W.W. Bartley, III) - Softcover
Synopsis
Quantum Theory and the Schism in Physics is one of the three volumes of Karl Popper’s Postscript to the Logic of scientific Discovery. The Postscript is the culmination of Popper’s work in the philosophy of physics and a new famous attack on subjectivist approaches to philosophy of science.
Quantum Theory and the Schism in Physics is the third volume of the Postscript. It may be read independently, but it also forms part of Popper’s interconnected argument in the Postscript. It presents Popper’s classic statement on quantum physics and offers important insights into his thinking on problems of method within science and physics as a whole.

Hardcover. Condition: Good to Very Good. 229 pp. Tightly bound. Corners not bumped. Text is free of markings. No ownership markings. Very good dust jacket. NOTE: The primary reason for the lower "good" rating is because there is light foxing to the page edges. PLEASE NOTE: My copy is the hardcover edition and not a paperback. This copy is smyth sewn. Smyth sewing is a method of bookbinding where groups of folded pages (referred to as signatures) are stitched together using binder thread. Each folded signature is sewn together individually with multiple stitches and then joined with other signatures to create the complete book block. This is the traditional and best method of bookbinding. Seller Inventory # 086623
