DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Shortly after Hooke died in 1703, his miscellaneous papers and unpublished manuscripts were entrusted to Richard Waller, who edited and published some of them in a volume titled The Posthumous Works of Robert Hooke (1705; reprinted, Frank Cass, 1968). Waller himself died, however, before he was able to complete the task of republishing Hooke’s papers and they were eventually handed on to William Derham. After delaying for what some of Hooke’s followers thought to be a scandalously long time, Derham finally published this volume in 1726. It contains numerous papers and notes by Hooke as well as a number of important papers and letters written by Hooke’s contemporaries and found, evidently, among Hooke’s literary remains. This is an exact facsimile reproduction of Derham’s edition of the Philosophical experiments and Observations of the late Eminent Dr. Rober Hooke (1726) except that an analytical table of contents, prepared by the General Editor, has been added. First Published in 1967. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.

Not illustrated. 1726 edition. Excerpt: ... may be Retrograde, Direct and Retrograde, but not a second Time Direct. Cor. II. 'Tts evident, there are in any Latitude innumerable Diverfities of inclinations of the DialPlane to the Horizon, and of the Stile to the Plane; also of Declinations of both Stile and Plane from the Meridian, whereby the Shadow may be made to go backward. Prap. VI. T H E Shadow cannot go back, while the Sun is nearer the zfqzzator, than the Top of the Stile to the Lqnator. And this holds good, whether the Sun and Top of the Stile be on the same, or different Sides of the Eqazztor. For the Planes of all Diurnal Circles, which are nearer to O 4. the the Equator, than the Top of the Stile, are cut by the Stile within their Perimeters, because the Stile passes thro' the Center of the Sphere. Cor. T H a nearer the Stile points to the Betrator, the more Days in the Year will the Shadow go back 5 but then, in any one Day, it will go back the less, oaeteris parihus. Prop. VII.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →. . . the topic of 'meaning' is the one topic discussed in philosophy in which there is literally nothing but 'theory' - literally nothing that can be labelled or even ridiculed as the 'common sense view'. Putnam, 'The Meaning of Meaning' This book explores some truths behind the truism that experimentation is a hallmark of scientific activity. Scientists' descriptions of nature result from two sorts of encounter: they interact with each other and with nature. Philosophy of science has, by and large, failed to give an account of either sort of interaction. Philosophers typically imagine that scientists observe, theorize and experiment in order to produce general knowledge of natural laws, knowledge which can be applied to generate new theories and technologies. This view bifurcates the scientist's world into an empirical world of pre-articulate experience and know how and another world of talk, thought and argument. Most received philosophies of science focus so exclusively on the literary world of representations that they cannot begin to address the philosophical problems arising from the interaction of these worlds: empirical access as a source of knowledge, meaning and reference, and of course, realism. This has placed the epistemological burden entirely on the predictive role of experiment because, it is argued, testing predictions is all that could show that scientists' theorizing is constrained by nature. Here a purely literary approach contributes to its own demise. The epistemological significance of experiment turns out to be a theoretical matter: cruciality depends on argument, not experiment.
