Description

Explore the power of thought experiments with this revised and updated edition of James Robert Brown's classic text, The Laboratory of the Mind. This book investigates how mental exercises like Newton's bucket, Einstein's elevator, and Schrodinger's cat help us understand the natural world. Brown examines the fundamental function of these experiments and asks if they are truly experiments at all. He explores the possibility of learning new information through thought alone, continuing his defense of apriorism in the physical world. This updated edition includes two new chapters, providing expanded insight into the philosophical issues in science. It is an essential resource for students and readers interested in the history and philosophy of science.
