About the Book

In this volume, 15 philosophers and scientists cover a wide variety of topics. Part 3 covers issues in quantum theory, geometry, classical mechanics, and computational physics. Part 4 explores Suppes's well-known set-theoretic account of scientific theories which has served him well throughout his career. Suppes's contributions to measurement theory have been widely used in mathematical psychology and elsewhere, and this material is the subject of Part 5. The book should be of interest to physicists, logicians, workers in mathematical social sicence, and philosophers of science.
