The theories, presuppositions and beliefs that neither science nor everyday experience can justify are the realm of metaphysics, literally  beyond physics'. These basic beliefs form a framework for our activities and can be discovered in science, common sense and religion. By examining the history of science from the eleventh century to the present, this book shows how religious and mystical beliefs, as well as philosophical speculation have had a considerable role in motivating scientists and inspiring scientific inquiry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePhysics and Metaphysics\u003c\/em\u003e presupposes no technical knowledge of either philosophy or science.
