BOOK INFO: 'Special relativitiy is not, like other scientific theories, a statement about the matter that forms the physical world, but has the form of a condition that the explicit physical theories must satisfy. It is thus a form of description, playing to some extent the role of the grammar of physics, prescribing which combinations of theoretical statements are admissible as descriptions of the physical world. So, to describe it, one needs also to describe those specific theories and to say how much they are limited by it.' Bibliography: p. 87-88. Includes index.
