Sklar Was Born In Baltimore, Maryland, In 1938 And Educated At Oberlin College (B.A., 1954-1958) And Princeton University (M.A., Ph.D., 1959-1964) Where He Worked With Hilary Putnam. He Worked At Swarthmore College From 1962 To 1966, First As An Instructor And Then As An Assistant Professor. He Then Worked As An Assistant Professor At Princeton University Until 1968. After 1968, He Worked At The University Of Michigan, Where He Was A Distinguished University Professor Emeritus. He Held Visiting Professorships At The University Of Illinois (1963), The University Of Pennsylvania (1968), Harvard University (1970), Ucla (1973) And Wayne State University (1977). Sklar Specialized In The Philosophy Of Physics, Approaching A Wide Range Of Issues From A Position Best Described As Highly Skeptical Of Many Of The Metaphysical Conclusions Commonly Drawn In The Physical Sciences. He Advocated The 'Mimo' (Metaphysics In, Metaphysics Out) Principle, Claiming That Much Of The Metaphysical Content Of Interpreted Theories In The Special Sciences Arises From Metaphysical Assumptions Made During Their Formulation. Although Physics Has Moved Much Since 1985, His Books Are Still Quite Worthwhile Reading. Artikel-Nr. 059833
