The Play of Nature Experimentation as Performance [Hardcover]

Creases brilliantly exploited theatrical analogy places scientific theorizing back into the wider context of experimental inquiry. Robert C. Scharff

Crease attacks the mystical account of experimentation embraced by the positivist and Kantian varieties of philosophy of science, according to which experimentation takes a backseat to theory.

ROBERT P. CREASE is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the State University of New York at Stony Brook and co-author (with Charles Mann) of The Second Creation: Makers of the Revolution in Twentieth-Century Physics.
