Philosophy And The Physicists by L. Susan Stebbing
A concise critique of sweeping metaphysical claims drawn from modern physics, it argues that many paradoxes and sensational conclusions stem from linguistic confusion and category mistakes rather than scientific discovery. By dissecting popular extrapolations from relativity and quantum theory, it exposes how speculative leaps about mind, matter, and reality outpace evidence. It defends common-sense realism and disciplined analysis, urging a clear boundary between what scientific theories actually establish and what philosophical reasoning must carefully justify.
