Recent scholars have attempted to remake epistemology as a purely subjectivist enterprise. Elie Zahar argues convincingly that rational metaphysics is both relevant and crucial to scientific research and discovery, and presents case studies on the development of the atomic theory and Einstein’s philosophy of science to support his contention.
