Instrumentalismo y realismo en la física de James C. Maxwell

Authors: Herrero, Miguel Ángel;

Instrumentalismo y realismo en la física de James C. Maxwell

Abstract

Resumen: Los tres artículos publicados entre 1856 y 1864 por Maxwell han sido analizados con el fin de estudiar el método de la analogía científica utilizado en la construcción de la teoría del campo electromagnético. Dicha teoría consiste en un formalismo matemático con significado físico. El procedimiento seguido por Maxwell proporciona un medio idóneo para examinar cómo se construyen los términos científicos y cuál es el papel que desempeñan en la formación de la teoría científica. A tenor del análisis realizado, la teoría de Maxwell muestra que el papel de la ciencia no es revelar entidades reales escondidas bajo apariencias sensibles, sino construir un formalismo matemático significante a partir de datos experimentales.Palabras clave: Método científico, instrumentalismo, realismo, campo electromagnético, Maxwell. Abstract: The three papers published between 1856 and 1864 by Maxwell have been analyzed in order to study the method of scientific analogy applied to construct the theory of electromagnetic field. The theory consists of a mathematical formalism with physical meaning. The procedure followed by Maxell is a valuable subject to examine in order to understand how scientific terms are defined and it is also a useful way of investigating the function they played in the construction of theories. This analysis shows that the role of the empirical science is not to discover real entities hidden under sensible appearances, but to build up a meaningful mathematical formalism from experimental data.Key words: Scientific method, instrumentalism, realism, electromagnetic field, Maxwell.
