Abstract
- The article discusses the role of physics in logical empiricism, a philosophical movement that was primarily concerned with the philosophy of science. The editors of the volume argue that there has been relatively little research on the logical empiricists' philosophy of the natural sciences, particularly physics. The volume aims to explore the traditions, methods, concepts, and ideas that influenced the logical empiricists' philosophy of physics, as well as their various and sometimes contradictory ideas about the physical sciences. While the volume contains some interesting insights, it also has some flaws, such as a lack of unity and contextualization in certain chapters. Overall, the volume may be valuable for experts in the field, but may not be the best starting point for those unfamiliar with logical empiricism. [Extracted from the article]
