From Lucretius throwing a spear beyond the boundary of the universe
to Einstein racing against a beam of light, thought experiments
stand as a fascinating challenge to the necessity of data in the
empirical sciences. Are these experiments, conducted uniquely in
our imagination, simply rhetorical devices or communication tools
or are they an essential part of scientific practice? This volume
surveys the current state of the debate and explores new avenues of
research into the epistemology of thought experiments.
