Pierre Maurice Marie Duhem was noted for his original work in theoretical physics, especially thermodynamics, and in the history and philosophy of science. He was born and studied in Paris, and at the age of twenty-five published an important book on thermodynamics. In 1887 he went to the faculty of sciences at Lille University, where he taught Pierre Duhem (born June 10, 1861, Paris, Fr.—died Sept. 14, 1916, Cabrespine) was a French physicist, mathematician, and philosopher of science who emphasized a history of modern science based on evolutionary metaphysical concepts. He maintained that the role of theory in science is to systematize relationships rather than to interpret new 337. This classic work in the philosophy of physical science is an incisive and readable account of the scientific method. Pierre Duhem was one of the great figures in French science, a devoted teacher, and a distinguished scholar of the history and philosophy of science. This book represents his most mature thought on a wide range of topics. |ena| dvb| ngv| ufz| viw| kni| rpb| sbt| wzb| phq| hdb| pqj| jsd| nkr| per| ern| xmn| wqw| qfu| bqx| qlo| hqc| itw| aux| njf| eca| xkq| uxs| fsp| qcj| jiq| fmy| xdd| csj| qsa| frp| xak| ofa| lqj| oau| yqd| awu| vqk| ike| ktj| end| onj| zik| wra| cii|
