Inhaltsangabe

This book is about the philosophy of science, particularly epistemological issues relating to modern physics. It is written from the point of view of a philosopher of science who pays close attention to language and how it influences our logic and ways of thinking. The thesis of the book is that faulty use of language has led to some untenable theories in physics, and this may be the reason that it is difficult to find empirical support for such theories as String Theory or Quantum Loop Gravity.
