مروری بر کتاب

in the past، philosophy included natural and physical sciences. but gradually these sciences broke away from philosophy and  pursued their restricted aims. with the growth of various species of empiricismin the early part of this century، philosophy ، in the sense of metaphysics، lost its appeal among scientists.

the emergence of quantum physics with its positivistic flavour fortified this distaste for philosophy. in the last three decades، the tide has begun to turn in favor of philosophical speculations، dismissal of philosophical concern. it has become clear that empiricists world - view gives us a superficial view of our universe، and since human beings spirit is not content with a superficial view of the universe، this narrow outlook can not endure. also، it has become more evident that the rejection of philosophy does not solve any problem. it merely replaces an explicit philosophy with an uncontrolledand naive philosophical out look. scientists should recognize the real role of philosophy ، and note that science and philosophy are complementary rather than contradictory and the divorce of science from philosophy impoverishes both disciplines.
