Jennifer Trusted's book illuminates the relationship between metaphysical beliefs and scientific inquiry into the nature of the cosmos - in particular, into the nature of space and time. She examines the history of science from the 11th century to the present, to illustrate the way in which religious and mystical beliefs, as well as philosophical speculation, have motivated scientists and inspired their scientific inquiries. Physics and Metaphysics presupposes no technical knowledge of either philosophy or science. It is an ideal introduction to science and the important forces that have shaped its history and ideas. The author has also published Inquiry and Understanding (Macmillan, 1987); Moral Principles and Social Values (RKP, 1987); Free will and responsibility (OUP, 1984); and An Introduction into the Philosophy of Knowledge (Macmillan, 1981).
