The last of nine talks in which scientists of various disciplines have talked about concepts crucial to their field of study
9: The Role of the Concept by PROFESSOR GROVER MAXWELL Minnesota Center for Philosophy
What can the scientist do towards solving traditional philosophical problems? Well, for example, science now pretty well establishes the reality of the external physical world which is not, however, the world of common-sense tables, trees, oceans, and so on. This familiar world exists only in our minds. Science also strongly suggests, in a manner to be explained, that matter-or at least some portions of it-is much less material and much more mind-like than is commonly supposed.
