Newton's bucket, Einstein's elevator, SchrAdinger's cat a "
these are some of the best-known examples of thought experiments in
the natural sciences. But what function do these experiments
perform? Are they really experiments at all? Can they help us gain
a greater understanding of the natural world? How is it possible
that we can learn new things just by thinking?
In this revised and updated new edition of his classic text The
Laboratory of the Mind, James Robert Brown continues to defend
apriorism in the physical world. This edition features two new
chapters, one on a oecounter thought experimentsa and another on
the development of inertial motion. With plenty of illustrations
and updated coverage of the debate between Platonic rationalism and
classic empiricism, this is a lively and engaging contribution to
the field of philosophy of science.
