Table of ContentsReviewsFriedman masterfully shows how Kant’s ideas arose from the tension between the empirical success of Newtonian physics and the rationalism of Leibniz and Wolff. The resulting philosophy of science is thick with interpretive knots. Friedman patiently unties each, using lucid presentations of the scientific, mathematical, and logical background to motivate his resolutions. Kant and the Exact Sciences is an exciting and important book. -- Mark Risjord * Studies in the History and Philosophy of Science * Author InformationMichael Friedman is Patrick Suppes Professor of Philosophy of Science at Stanford University.
