Thought experiments like Newton's bucket and Schrödinger's cat challenge our understanding of the natural sciences and the nature of experimentation itself. In this revised edition of a classic text, James Robert Brown explores the role of these mental exercises in gaining insights about the physical world, defending the concept of apriorism. The book includes new chapters on counter thought experiments and inertial motion, alongside illustrations and discussions on Platonic rationalism versus classic empiricism, making it an engaging read in the philosophy of science.
