2. Foundations Of Space Time Theories
Relativistic Physics and Philosophy of Science
A philosophical analysis of how Newtonian mechanics and Einstein’s special and general relativity define the structure of space and time, arguing that scientific change is guided by shifting constitutive principles—“relativized a priori” frameworks—that connect empirical findings to geometry and kinematics. It surveys and synthesizes Kantian, conventionalist, and logical empiricist views, clarifies the status of simultaneity, inertial frames, and the equivalence principle, and offers a rational reconstruction of theory change that avoids both naive realism and pure conventionalism.
