They do so with several different approaches, which this book parses into three. One analyzes the results of inquiry, another the process of inquiry, and still another inquiring, or what it means to be an inquirer. Each approach puts a different feature of science centre-stage--its logic, practice, and being-inquiring--questions it in different vocabularies for different ends, and ends up with different kinds of conclusions. This book outlines these approaches in a non-technical way, and highlights their differences by showing how they engage specific topics and issues in physics, including method, discovery, and theory. The key audiences for this book include the wider physics community, as well as philosophy and physics students. Physics community. Also available in print. Mode of access: World Wide Web. System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader. Robert P. Crease is a Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Stony Brook University in New York. He has written, edited, or translated over 12 books in the history and philosophy of science, and for nearly 20 years has been a columnist ('Critical Point') for Physics World. In 2021 he was awarded the William Thomson, Lord Kelvin Medal and Prize (Institute of Physics) for 'describing key humanities concepts for scientists, and explaining the significance of key scientific ideas for humanists.'
