New Pathways in Science

Abstract

THIS book is, from one point of view, a revision of the author's “The Nature of the Physical World” (1929); from another, it is a sequel thereto. The subjects treated are, in the main, the same, but the treatment is brought up to date and the underlying philosophy is re-presented so as to face more directly the attacks of criticism. In a brief review, only passing mention can be made of the purely scientific aspects of the book, interesting though they are; the general outlook demands chief attention.

New Pathways in Science.

By Sir Arthur Eddington. (Messenger Lectures, 1934.) Pp. x + 333 + 4 plates. (Cambridge: At the University Press, 1935.) 10s. 6d. net.
