The Role of Models in Theoretical Physics,the meanings the word has in science, in particular in physics. In this talk I want to discuss its meaning in theoretical physics and try to give a comprehensive survey of the various types of models used, and also to show that they form an essential feature of theoretical physics.

Verification Or Proof- An Undecided Issue?,lectively exhaustive: analytic and synthetic propositions. No doubt, the term ‘synthetic’ is rather ambiguous, and for that reason it has been replaced by the more unequivocal expressions ‘empirical’ or ‘contingent’. These terms render it clear that non-analytic knowledge originates in experience. A

Theories and Hypotheses in Biology,s. It does not seem to have conceptual boundaries that can be made self-contained as in physics. This paper examines the problem of functional explanation, together with the role, if any, of theoretical entities (or ‘units’) in biology. To begin with I shall examine, fairly precisely, the physicist’

The Unity of Physics,specialists at a contemporary scientific meeting will ask himself whether the unity of science is not an empty phrase. Let us therefore submit the following problem to the sociologists of science: find . good physicists, none of whom really understands the speciality of the other; how large can we m

,Supplementary Comments to Weizs?cker’s Paper,e fundamental equations governing elementary particle physics, and a few, notably Heisenberg, suspect that these equations will either unify all of physics or be the next-to-last theory prior to that unification. What distinguishes Weizs?cker’s attempt from all others, as his paper shows, is the ext
