Description

Ideality In The Physical Sciences is a book written by Benjamin Peirce and originally published in 1881. This book explores the concept of ideality in the physical sciences, which is the idea that certain concepts and principles in science are ideal or abstract rather than concrete or tangible. Peirce argues that ideality is a fundamental aspect of scientific inquiry and that it plays a crucial role in the development of scientific theories and models. He discusses a wide range of topics related to ideality, including the nature of mathematical and physical concepts, the relationship between mathematics and physics, and the role of abstraction in scientific reasoning. This book is considered a classic in the philosophy of science and is still widely read and studied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
