Metaphysics and Measurement: Essays in Scientific Revolution (Classics in the History and Philosophy of Science) - Softcover
Synopsis
This collection of six essays centers on Professor Koyré's great theme: the relative importance of metaphysics and observation, with controlled experiment a kind of marriage between the two. Professor Koyré's thesis might be summed up as a claim that when one is seeking to explain the scientific revolution, attention must be concentrated on the philosophical outlook of the scientist and away from speculative theories.
At the time of his death, Alexandre Koyré was a professor at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Études (Sorbonne) and a memeber of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.
