QUOTE (The Uncreator @ Dec 11 2007, 08:57 PM)  The String Theory always interested me  Me too - lately I have lost a little faith though - they seem to be employing the Anthropic Principle to compensate for the fact that they can't get any exact predictions out of it, which leaves a little bit of a bad taste ... Of course, if you are talking about E strings and B strings and such, that is a very different matter - I still have a lot of faith in guitar strings

An interesting explanation of how we come to adopt a scientific explanation/theory/model (sorry can't recall the title) was written by Thomas Kuhn way back in the 50s - from a different angle/opinion there's also Karl Popper. A somewhat more philosophical view was Michel Foucault's 'Order of things' and more specifically about scientific method Paul Feyerabend's 'Against Method'. If you get really interested in the issues concerning reflexivity and method/ology then there is also Rodolphe Gasche's 'Tain of the mirror' - Gasche though tends to assume that anyone reading his work has a ready, or at least reasonable, familiarity with Hegel, Husserl, Derrida, Kant, Heidegger and a few others. If you have Gasche's is a great read - actually all of Gasche's stuff is good. Cheers, Tony -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.
