How the Laws of Physics Lie
Book • 1983
In this collection of essays, Nancy Cartwright challenges the traditional view of scientific laws by arguing that they do not accurately describe the world but instead represent idealized models.
She distinguishes between theoretical entities and simple unifying laws, suggesting that while entities can be interpreted realistically, basic laws cannot.
Cartwright's work invites a reevaluation of how science is practiced and understood.
