The Aesthetic Dimension of Science - 1980 Nobel Conference by Deane W. Curtin, editor
This volume is the outgrowth of a 1980 conference held at Gustavus Adolphus College and sanctioned by the Nobel Foundation on the topic “The Aesthetic Dimension of Science.” Topics addressed include: “Is beauty an essential element in scientific inquiry?” and “Given a choice between a beautiful or elegant theory that appears not to fit the facts, which would be adopted?” The volume concludes with selections from a series of fruitful conversations among the five participants.
