- Pointer to a paper by Carlos Rovelli
I'd like to point to the following paper:
- C. Rovelli, Physics needs philosophy. Philosophy needs physics. Foundations of Physics 48 (2018), 481-491.
Carlos Rovelli said:Contrary to claims about the irrelevance of philosophy for science, I argue that philosophy has had, and still has, far more influence on physics than is commonly assumed. I maintain that the current anti-philosophical ideology has had damaging effects on the fertility of science.
