A new semantics for the epistemology of geometry II
epistemological completeness of Newton—Galilei and Einstein—maxwell theory
pp. 41-69
Abstrakt
In [1, Coleman and Korté, appearing in this issue] we present the principles and analyses underlying a new approach to the epistemology of spacetime geometry. In this paper we apply this analysis to two spacetime theories. In particular, we show that Newton—Galilei theory is epistemically complete with respect to its spatial metric and that Einstein—Maxwell theory is epistemically complete with respect to its spacetime geometry.
