Description
The Logical Leap Induction in Physics by David Harriman A groundbreaking solution to the problem of induction is presented in this book, drawing on Ayn Rand's theory of concepts and a collaboration between scientist and philosopher. Harriman skillfully argues that the inductive method used in philosophy is in principle indistinguishable from the method used in physics, looking closely at the reasoning of scientists such as Galileo, Kepler, Newton, Lavoisier, and Maxwell. This book provides a detailed discussion of the role of mathematics and experimentation in validating generalizations in physics.
