«Physics as Metaphor» is Roger S. Jones's essay on physics and philosophy, published by Sphere in paperback (254 pages, in English).
Roger S. Jones argues that objectivity is a myth and uses concepts from physics as metaphors to interrogate human perception of space, time, matter, numbers, death and consciousness. Science thus becomes a path to philosophical reflection on knowledge and the human condition.
Physics as Metaphor originally appeared in 1982; this 1983 edition is part of the Abacus Books collection.
Suitable for students and readers interested in the philosophy of science; also useful for those seeking a humanistic approach to physics.
