Speculation: Within and About Science
New York, NY: Oup Usa (2018)
Abstract
Newton deplored speculation in science, Einstein reveled in it. What exactly are scientific speculations? Are they ever legitimate? Are they subject to constraints? This book defends a pragmatic approach to these issues and applies it to speculations within science and to speculations about science.Author's Profile
