Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
In Experiment, Right or Wrong, Allan Franklin continues his investigation of the history and philosophy of experiment presented in his previous book, The Neglect of Experiment. Using a combination of case studies and philosophical readings of those studies, Franklin again addresses two important questions: (1) What role does and should experiment play in the choice between competing theories and in the confirmation or refutation of theories and hypotheses? (2) How do we come to believe reasonably in experimental results? Experiment, Right or Wrong makes a significant contribution to an important area in contemporary history and philosophy of science. Philosophers and historians of science, physicists, and advanced students in these areas will find much of interest in this engaging study.
"For accounts of how experiments in modern physics are actually conducted and validated, Franklin's books rank with Peter Galison's 'How Experiments End' as the best we have." John Earman, Foundations of Physics
"Allan Franklin is among those who believe that 'experiment has a life of its own. He has been extensively studying scientific experiments, and his new book presents some of his findings...It provides an excellent example of today's scholarship in the history of modern science." Yuelin Zhu, ISIS
