The Logic of Modern Physics
1927
The Logic of Modern Physics, published in 1927 by physicist P. W. Bridgman, critically examines foundational concepts in physics, particularly in light of relativity and quantum mechanics. Bridgman introduces the concept of operationalism, emphasizing the need for definitions based on observable phenomena rather than abstract theories. This work significantly influenced both the philosophy of science and the social sciences, particularly psychology, making it a pivotal text in understanding the evolution of scientific thought in the early 20th century.

“La scoperta che il numero ottenuto contando le volte in cui un bastone può venir appliato su un oggetto si può usare semplicemente nel descrivere i fenomeni naturali, è stata una delle scoperte più importanti e fondamentali compiute dall'uomo.””
— P. W. Bridgman
