Publisher's Synopsis
""Ideality in the Physical Sciences"" is a book written by Benjamin Peirce and published in 1881. It explores the concept of ideality, which refers to the abstract and theoretical concepts that underlie physical phenomena. Peirce argues that these ideational constructs are essential to scientific understanding, and that they are not simply arbitrary or subjective creations of the human mind. He also discusses the relationship between ideality and materiality, and how the two are intertwined in the physical world. The book is considered a classic in the philosophy of science, and has influenced many subsequent thinkers in the field. It is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both scholars and general readers interested in the nature of scientific knowledge.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
