Bøger af Elie Zahar

The author applies the methodology of scientific research programmes to the origins of relativity, showing how Eddington, Lorentz, Poincare, Planck and Weyl were driven by mathematical heuristics to make their various contributions to Einstein's programme.

This book deplores this state of affairs and attempts to correct it by reviving rational metaphysics as well as some of the ideas of the Vienna circle.
