His central caution is that Boscovich was neither a scientist nor a philosopher in the modern sense: a physicist reading him for a unified field theory as now understood will come away disappointed, and the work has to be read on the terms of natural philosophy instead.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;[https://beyondmainstream.org/roger-boscovich-modern-physical-science-versus-natural-philosophy/ Read the full article at &#039;&#039;Beyond Mainstream&#039;&#039; &amp;rarr;]&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> [[Category:Article]]<br /> [[Category:Physics Articles]]<br /> [[Category:Articles from Beyond Mainstream]]<br /> [[Category:Articles 2020]]<br /> [[Category:Philosophy]]</div>
