Why history matters to philosophy of physics [PDF]
Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part A, 2015 Abstract Naturalized metaphysics remains the default presupposition of much contemporary philosophy of physics. As metaphysics is supposed to concern the general structure of reality, so scientific naturalism draws upon our best physical theories to attempt to answer the foundational question “par excellence ” viz., “how could the world possibly be ...

Advantages of studying history and philosophy of science for pre-service physics teachers
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2020 Abstract The purpose of this exploratory case study was to investigate the views of four undergraduate physics pre-teacher students about the nature of Science (NOS). The students completed an History and Philosophy (HPS) course during the first semester of 2017 at Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology Sul-rio-grandense (

International Journal of Physics and Chemistry Education, 2011 This qualitative study examined the Nigerian Physics Curriculum contents and some purposively selected physics textbooks to ascertain the attainment of the goals of the History and Philosophy of Science (HPS). Content analysis of both the National Physics Curriculum and selected Physics textbooks was carried out.

Clausius Inequality in the Philosophy and History of Physics
Jos Uffink rejected the existence of the arrow of time in classical thermodynamics, and his views turned out to be influential in the philosophy of physics. However, this position omits the connection between classical thermodynamics and continuum mechanics and is based on a simplistic view of equilibrium states.

Teaching the gravitational redshift: lessons from the history and philosophy of physics
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2015 The equivalence principle and the notion of an ideal clock running independently of acceleration suggest that clocks are unaffected by gravity. The apparent contradiction with the gravitational redshift points to a subtlety in general relativity theory. Indeed, early attempts for a clear derivation of the gravitational redshift were fraught with errors

Teaching Quantum Mechanics in degree in Physics through the History and Philosophy of Science
, 2021 This article analyzes the results of the application of a didactic proposal in the context of teaching Quantum Mechanics (QM) based on the History and Philosophy of Science (HPS) implemented in the undergraduate degree in physics. It´s discussed from planning to learning activities observing how these potentialize or limit the realization of the ...

Complementing Science: Lessons from the History and Philosophy of Thermal Physics
Journal for General Philosophy of ScienceAbstract In this paper, I argue that the history and philosophy of thermodynamics of computation in 1998–2024 has contributed to gain scientific knowledge about Maxwell’s demon and Landauer’s principle, thus successfully implementing Hasok Chang’s model of integrated HPS as complementary science.
