Martin Carrier, The completeness of scientific theories

Thomas Breuer

pp. 424-429

Abstract

Philosophy of modern physics seemed not to be among the strongholds of post-war German philosophy. As this book testifies, Martin Carrier is among the few exceptions. He makes valuable and original contributions to some important problems in philosophy of science: the theory-ladenness of observation, the possibility of universally valid theories, and the status of physical geometry. I will report first on his main theses and then point to some open problems.
