More than half a century ago, Edwin F. Taylor and John Archibald Wheeler wrote the indispensable I Spacetime Physics, i an unconventional, brilliant, and unique - what else would you expect from John Wheeler? In 1962, Taylor was a young physics professor at Wesleyan University, starting a sabbatical at Princeton, and somewhat prophetically taking up residence in the office of Eric M. Rogers,[2] on leave. (Feynman is quoted in the I New York Times i ' obituary of his old teacher: "Some people think Wheeler's gotten crazy in his later years, but he's always been crazy."[4]) Would Taylor be willing to attend Wheeler's lectures, transcribe them, and then with him turn these notes into a book? 71, 423-425 (2003);10.1119/1.1555874 Edwin F. Taylor " The boundaries of nature: Special and general relativity and quantum mechanics, a second course in physics, the Oersted Award acceptance lecture", Am. [Extracted from the article]

Source externality has the welcome consequence of clarifying that Husserl, despite his foundationalist language, allows that people can contribute to human knowledge without knowing anything about phenomenology (when I first read I Ideas i 3, on the "Foundations of the Sciences", I admit I took Husserl to be implying that even chemists and biologists had some obligation to learn about his new science of phenomenology). Running through the whole landscape of Husserl interpretations are two basic readings: (1) a direct realist reading, exemplified by Hopp and Willard, which treats physical objects given in direct perception as real things, that are not in any sense encountered as "representations." Hopp and Willard Versus the Matrix As a phenomenology of the natural attitude, I endorse Hopp's reading of Husserl almost in its entirety. I began my study of Husserl in the 1990s under Hubert Dreyfus, David Woodruff Smith, and Ron McIntyre, all members of the "California School" of Husserl interpretation, which is realist, Fregean, and generally analytic (Yoshimi et al. [3]). [Extracted from the article]
