Extrait du document
The great intellectual advance of the sixteenth century was not in philosophy itself, but in the separation that was achieved between the philosophy of nature and the science of physics. Both disciplines endeavour to understand the same subject matter; but scientific physics proceeds by observation and hypothesis, not by a priori speculation or conceptual analysis. As scientific physics progresses, philo¬sophy in this area retains only a diminished role as the philosophy of science itself.
