Sommario/riassunto |
|
'Laws and Symmetry's' three main objectives are: first, to show the failure of current philosophical accounts of laws of nature; second, to refute arguments for the reality of laws of nature; third, to contribute to an epistemology and a philosophy of science antithetical to such metaphysical notions. |
