Abstract
I HAVE been re–reading Sir Arthur Eddington's recent book with great admiration, but also with grave doubts as to whether his philosophical position is not wholly unsound. I think he employs the word ‘epistemological’ in at least two different senses (‘epistemological–in–form’ and ‘epistemological–in–substance’), and the resulting confusion of thought is disastrous to his proposed new philosophy of science.
