Abstract

Jagdish Mehra Dordrecht, Holland: D Reidel 1974 pp xii + 132 price Dfl 44, $16.50 For rather more than a decade there has been a welcome revival of interest in the philosophy of science. A good deal of this interest has centred upon discussions of the historical development of scientific theories and in particular of the quantum theory.

I find it exceedingly difficult to judge whether the exercise is intended to do more than sharpen our appreciation of its content: one feels that the operators in this domain are also hoping to improve the physical content of the theory.

Patrick Suppes (ed) Dordrecht-Holland: D Reidel 1976 pp xv + 541 price Dfl 135, $54 Quantum mechanics is studied and employed at various levels of subtlety by a wide range of scientists. At one extreme are the molecular chemists, laser physicists, integrated circuit manufacturers etc, who are concerned solely with the predictions of the theory and who certainly do not question its logical consistency.
