Where is Philosophy Going?1
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 February 2009
Extract
Some years ago Max Planck published a small book with the title Where is Science Going? in vigorous protest against the idea that the doctrine of relativity in general and the new quanta physics in particular mean that “the quest of the absolute becomes eliminated from scientific progress.” That it seems to be time to raise a similar question with regard to philosophy was suggested to me at a recent conference held at Farnham Castle on the relation between science and philosophy, at which the new school of logical positivism was strongly represented by some of the ablest of the younger men.
