Abstract

[In the previous chapters we have witnessed the existence of an experimental world in intimate relation with the theoretical world. Experimentation, which is a questioning of nature, is not a neutral or aseptic activity, but one that in itself implies a theory of the experiment and a theory of its interpretation. The first includes apparatus, circumstances and observers; the second deals with the reading and evaluation of the results, which are not normally as clear or immediate as to allow radical conclusions, requiring instead analyses which are generally complex.]
