Download or read book Readings on Laws of Nature written by John W. Carroll and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a subject of inquiry, laws of nature exist in the overlap between metaphysics and the philosophy of science. Over the past three decades, this area of study has become increasingly central to the philosophy of science. It also has relevance to a variety of topics in metaphysics, philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, and epistemology. Readings on Laws of Nature is the first anthology to offer a contemporary history of the problem of laws. The book is organized around three key issues: the matter of distinguishing laws from mere correlations, questions concerning inductive reasoning and laws, and the consideration of whether there are any true laws in science. Designed for class use, the anthology covers a remarkably broad range of views and concerns, and consists exclusively of articles that have proved highly influential in the field. Readings on Laws of Nature will also serve as a valuable research and reference tool for philosophers who do not specialize in the subject, but who have occasion to examine concepts relating to the laws of nature in their own work.

C. Clarke and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-13 with total page 724 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings in Natural Philosophy, or a Popular Display of the Wonders of Nature, Exclusively Selected From the Transactions of the Royal Society of London, From Its Foundation to the Present Time: Chiefly Intended for the Use of Schools At this time most of the Sovereign Princes of Europe are enrolled as Fellows of this Society. In like man: r ner, too, many of the distinguished nobility of these kingdoms are among its members. Kings and nobles are, however, themselves, honoured by admission, and their names may spread a halo round the Society; but looking rigidly at the subject, it might be wished, that no one should be admitted to such an Association without first affording some personal proof of his appropriate worthiness. To be a Fellow of the Royal Society should be a distinction higher than birth or title-deeds could bestow. It should be a badge of nobility of mind; and f.r.s. Ought, through the civilised world, to afford unequivocal proof that he who was authorised to use it, deserved such pre-eminence for some attainments which no accidents of society could bestow.
