What is /sci/'s take on the work of American physicist, and philosopher at the Colorado School of Mines, Joseph D. Sneed (September 23, 1938 - February 07, 2020)?
Personally his book "The Logical Structure of Mathematical Physics", published in 1971, changed my life but I'm wondering if /sci/ really pays that much attention to literature in philosophy of science; after all, it was his work in philosophy of physics which really shook things up in the academic world, especially his founding of the structural theory of the empirical sciences (which I subscribe to) and his influence on Wolfgang Stegmuller and Thomas Kuhn, who he himself was originally influenced by.
