About the Author Nugayev Rinat Magdievich (born in May, 30, 1953), doctor of philosophy, professor, a member of Kazan branch of Russian University of Cooperation dept. of humanities teaching stuff. Title of honoured scientist of Tatarstan, a member of British Society for the Philosophy of Science, American Philosophy of Science Association, American Physical Society, an Associate member of Russian Academy of Natural Sciences. A member of the Academic Commitee of "Physical Interpretation of Relativity" international conference (London, UK). A member of the Editorial Board of "Philosophy of Science" international journal (published by University of Chicago, USA). A specialist in philosophy, history and sociology of science. On graduating (1970) Kazan special secondary school number 18 (10year basic English course +3year course of English literature) joined the physics department of KSU (Kazan State University). His major university disciplines were Riemannian geometry and general relativity taught at special relativity dept. founded by prof. Alexej Zinovievich Petrov (following the traditions of Nicolas Lobachevsky). Nugayev's magisterial work was devoted to nonmetric theories of gravity. On graduating the postgraduate philosophy courses in Kazan and Moscow he gets his M.Sci degree at Moscow State University. The theme of his "kandidatskaya" dissertation was "Occurence and Resolution of TheoryChoice Situations in Physics" (1979, Moscow University). The theme of his "doktorskaya" dissertation was "Reconstruction of Mature Theory Change"(1991, Moscow Institute of Philosophy). In 1982 he had joined the KSU teaching stuff to lecture on philosophy (and philosophy of science) and in 1993 was elected a KSU professor. In 2001 he had worked as RSEP research fellow at the department of history&philosophy of science in Bloomington, Indiana, USA under the kind supervision of Prof. Noretta Koertge. Product Description This monograph is aimed at an analysis of the reasons for theory change in science. The writer develops a new model of theory change according to which the origins of scientific revolutions lie not in a clash of mature theories with facts, but of 'old' mature theories with each other, leading to contradictions that can only be eliminated in a more general theory. The model is illustrated with reference to physics in the early 20th century, the three 'old' theories in this case being Maxwellian electrodynamics, statistical mechanics and thermodynamics. It is suggested that special relativity, both in its creation and its acceptance, can be understood only with reference to developments in quantum theory.
