About this item

by Christopher Caudwell (Author), H. Levy (Introduction by)

Christopher Caudwell's The Crisis in Physics is a stylish and readable analysis of the lines of connection between scientific theories and economic realities. Caudwell provides a trenchant critique of mechanism and positivism. In the words of J.B.S. Haldane, The Crisis in Physics offers a "quarry of ideas" for future philosophers: a wealth of insights and arguments that demands continuing critical reflection.
