Duhem's 1908 essay questions the relation between physical theory and metaphysics and, more specifically, between astronomy and physics-an issue still of importance today. He critiques the answers given by Greek thought, Arabic science, medieval Christian scholasticism, and, finally, the astronomers of the Renaissance.

Pierre Duhem (1861-1916), a mathematical physicist, was among the founders of philosophy of science as an aspect of intellectual history.
