Hidden historicity

the challenge of Bohr's philosophical thought

Ulrich Röseberg

pp. 325-343

Abstract

According to Reichenbach in the analysis of physical theories, the philosopher is interested only in the context of justification. Philosophy of science should, and could, ignore history of science. A theory has a structure but no cognitively relevant history; the context of its discovery is without any philosophical interest. This is one distinct position on which logical analyses of physical theories in philosophy of science have been based.
