Reflections on science and imagination

Robert S Cohen

pp. 215-220

Abstract

Once I was a physicist, working at the beginnings of plasma physics, after a few years in the Second World War dealing with radar, radar counter-measures, and scientific intelligence. Then I added history of physics, and always looked for philosophy. Why philosophy? Well, philosophy deals with three basic questions: What is? How do we know? What ought to be?
