Scientific metaphysics

by Kincaid, Harold Ladyman, James Ross, Don

Type Book

Rate 0.0 /5

Original essays by leading philosophers of science explore the question of whether metaphysics can and should be naturalised - conducted as part of natural science. They engage with a range of approaches and disciplines to argue that if metaphysics is to be capable of identifying objective truths, it must be continuous with and inspired by science.
