Pierre Duhem: Philosophy and History in the Work of a Believing PhysicistOpen Court Publishing, 1991 - 274 páginas More than any other major twentieth-century writer, Pierre Duhem has been the victim of ill-informed guesswork. For instance, many references to Duhem stress the importance of his Catholic faith, but nearly all of them draw the obvious-and entirely erroneous-conclusions about the role of Catholicism in Duhem's thinking. |
