Bag om Thought Experiments in Science, Philosophy, and the Arts

From Lucretius throwing a spear beyond the boundary of the universe to Einstein racing against a beam of light, thought experiments stand as a fascinating challenge to the necessity of data in the empirical sciences.

This volume surveys the current state of the debate and explores new avenues of research into the epistemology of thought experiments.
