Abner Shimony an eminent philosopher of science, whose work has
exerted a profound influence in both the philosophy and physics
communities. This two-volume collection of his essays written over
a period of forty years explores the interrelations between science
and philosophy. Shimony regards the knowing subject as an entity in
nature whose faculties must be studied from the points of view of
evolutionary biology and empirical psychology. He maintains that
the twentieth century is one of the great ages of metaphysics,
given the deep implications of quantum mechanics, relativity
theory, and molecular biology. The first volume, Scientific Method
and Epistemology, deals with the dialectic of subject and object,
epistemic probability, induction and scientific theories,
perception and conception, and fact and values. The focus of the
second volume, Natural Sciences and Metaphysics, is on quantum
mechanical measurement and non-locality, parts and wholes, time,
and mind and matter.
