The Enigma Of The Universe : 2. View Of Sir James Jeans & Jain View

Sir James Jeans is another physicist who advocated idealism as a philosophy of science. In the first chapter we have seen how Jeans considers the universe to consist of pure thoughts. But, alike Eddington, Jeans’s view is also abstruse and vague. At many places in his work (viz., The Mysterious Universe), we find him making ambiguous and even self-contradictory statements.
