First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. "This is an attack on Aristotle showing that his misplaced drive toward the consistent application of his actualistic ontology (denying the reality of all potential things) resulted in many of his major theses being essentially vacuous. This is an attack on Aristotle showing that, after his revolt against Plato's separate ideas, he formulated his actualistic ontology denying the reality of all potential things and holding that only actual things are real. In a misplaced or mistaken drive toward consistency, Aristotle then applied this ontology to other areas of his philosophy with the result that many of his major theses are essentially vacuous. When applied in his physics, this led to the view that all natural motions are uncaused and therefore self-explanatory. Related consequences were Aristotle9s physical indeterminism, holism, and the true meaning of his teleology and theory of god In his logical theory Aristotle presented a system of empty explanations and argued that these are the only scientific explanations possible. Since mathematics appears to deal with non-actual entities, Aristotle formulated an actualistic theory of mathematics, leading to the first notion of a universal mathematics. This book shows how actualism served as the foundation of an anti-informationist philosophy of nature, science, logic, and mathematics. These consequences make Aristotle's actualism the natural framework for twentieth-century science and its philosophy." (Publisher).

Newton's Physics and the conceptual Structure of the Scientific Revolution

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Navy cloth/boards with gilt lettering. Sky blue dj with black lettering. 588 pp. with very occasional bw images. Volume 127 in the Boston Studies in the Philosophy of Science series. "The scientific revolution in the 17th century exhibits the irrationality typical of Platonic thought in the revolt against the rationality of Aristotle's theory. But then, the author argues, prevalent historiography has it all upside down, for there is no real conceptual difference between the true Aristotle and the picture of Newton's physics as it is drawn today. This implies that our contemporary historiography of the scientific revolution is actually an Aristotelian interpretation of modern physics. Thus armed, Bechler seeks to interpret the real structure of that physics, as Paltonic in essence. The rationality of the aristotelian philosophy of nature leads to a non-informational conception of explanation. The platonic revolt, which animated the new science, is a strictly informational conception, which views explanation as the combination of ontologically alien and unrelated elements, and so it basically irrational. Both ontologies, however, inescapably end up in the same place: against the straight and clean-cut verbalism of the aristotelian, the platonist is led to a cirularity in his science which he cannot excise, unless he gives up the ideal of certainty which he shares with the arsitotelian. Bechler shows this by a detailed analysis of Galileo, Descartes, and mainly Newton's physics. Newton's critics, Leibniz and Berkely, are then exhibited as the artistotelian reaction." - from the dj. VG and tight but with pencil underlining and margin notes by former owner, Robert Palter, noted Newtonian, science professor, and author of scientific texts.
