Do we need to reconsider scientific methodology in light of modern
physics? Has the traditional scientific method become outdated,
does it need to be defended against dangerous incursions, or has it
always been different from what the canonical view suggests? To
what extent should we accept non-empirical strategies for
scientific theory assessment? Many core aspects of contemporary
fundamental physics are far from empirically well-confirmed. There
is controversy on the epistemic status of the corresponding
theories, in particular cosmic inflation, the multiverse, and
string theory. This collection of essays is based on the high
profile workshop 'Why Trust a Theory?' and provides
interdisciplinary perspectives on empirical testing in fundamental
physics from leading physicists, philosophers and historians of
science. Integrating different contemporary and historical
positions, it will be of interest to philosophers of science and
physicists, as well as anyone interested in the foundations of
contemporary science.
