Num Pages: 271 pages, biography. BIC Classification: HPCF5; PDA. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 216 x 140. .
Scientific concepts, laws, theories and models are representations but are uniquely different. This book explores each within an original, philosophical framework rooted in the Kantian tradition.
