Metaphysics Avoidance: Mark Wilson and Ernst Cassirer
Why history matters to philosophy of physics
What does History Matter to Philosophy of Physics
Naturalized metaphysics remains a default presupposition of much contemporary philosophy of physics. As metaphysics is supposed to be about the general structure of reality, so a naturalized metaphysics draws upon our best physical theories: Assuming the truth of such a theory, it attempts to answer the “foundational question par excellence ”, “how could the world possibly be the way this theory says it is?” It is argued that attention to histori…
Hilbert's ‘Foundations of Physics’: Gravitation and electromagnetism within the axiomatic method
Einstein, Cassirer, and General Covariance — Then and Now
The Argument Recent archival research has brought about a new understanding of the import of Einstein's puzzling remarks (1916) attributing a physical meaning to general covariance. Debates over the scope and meaning of general covariance still persist, even within physics. But already in 1921 Cassirer identified the significance of general covariance as a novel stage in the development of the criterion of objectivity within physics; an account o…

Chaos, Clio, and Scientific Illusions of Understanding
L'A. etudie les differentes applications de la theorie mathematique du chaos aux problemes de l'explication historique. La these causale ou la these de la convergence reconnaissent dans la theorie du chaos un modele plausible pour expliquer certains evenements historiques, mais l'A. rejette cette pretendue analogie entre mathematique et histoire car elle ne tient pas compte du veritable interet de la dynamique non-lineaire
The Semantic Tradition from Kant to Carnap: To the Vienna Station
Conditio sine qua non? Zuordnung in the early epistemologies of Cassirer and Schlick
