The Nature of the Physical World 1926–1927

Arthur Stanley Eddington

Summary

Table of Contents

Abstract

Chapters 1–11 of these lectures expound recent advances in physics in non-technical language, while chapters 12–15 discuss their philosophical implications. Eddington believes that physical theories are about relating numerically measurable quantities, and that their structure reflects the structure of human thought itself. He further argues that the substratum of everything is mental in character.
