Critique of Einstein's philosophy of geometry

Adolf Grünbaum

pp. 106-151

Since Einstein's central thesis concerning the epistemological status of physical geometry will be seen in Section C to be a geometrical version of Pierre Duhem's conception of the falsifiability of isolated empirical hypotheses, this first section will be devoted to a critical examination of Duhem's conception as articulated by W. V. O. Quine.
