The structure of theories in the natural sciences
pp. 183-254
Abstract
The problem of the application of mathematical formalisms in the natural sciences: historical and phenomenological preliminaries; the generation of mathematical formalisms, their application in the natural sciences, and their foundations in the lifeworld; the ontological interpretation of classical physics; the difficulties of ontological interpretations of the mathematical formalism in post-classical physics; and the empirical basis and the status of theories in the life sciences.
