unreferenced date October 2008 Intensive Science and Virtual Philosophy hereafter referred to as ISVP is a 2002 book by Manuel De Landa . In De Landa s words, the book seeks to present the process based philosophical realism realist philosophy of Gilles Deleuze to an audience of analytical philosophers of science and scientists with an interest in philosophical questions. Specifically, the author explores Deleuze s ontology , using examples from differential geometry , group theory and complexity theory to divide this ontology into three partially overlapping domains, the virtual, the intensive and the actual. Deleuze s ontology The book opens by explaining the immanence of Deleuze s realist philosophy, ie. that it does not rely on essentialism essences . The virtual abstract In the first domain, the virtual, essences are replaced with multiplicities, which De Landa describes as concrete sets of singularities or strange attractor attractors realised as tendencies in physical processes linked together by bifurcations realised as abrupt transitions in the tendencies of physical processes . These multiplicities are meshed together into a heterogeneous virtual continuum , a continuous, immanent, abstract space in which, through various interactions, each multiplicity progressively differentiates into the intensive and then the actual, through a cascade of symmetry breaking events. There is a notable similarity between multiplicities described as such and Morphogenetic field morphogenetic ... goals of philosophy as uncovering the intensive, and then abstract, dynamisms hidden under ... the importance Deleuze placed on minor science pragmatic laboratory engagement as opposed to royal science the prestigious, proscriptive science of the royal academies, etc. and observes how a minor science tends to place more importance on well formed problems than generalized solutions.

This article is about incommensurability in the philosophy of science. For other senses of this word, see commensurability . Commensurability or incommensurability is a concept in the philosophy of science . Scientific theories are described as commensurable if one can compare them to determine which is more accurate if theories are incommensurable, there is no way in which one can compare them to each other in order to determine which is more accurate. Image Auguste Rodin Grubleren 2005 02.jpg thumb 250px The Thinker by Rodin . Thesis In 1962 , Thomas Kuhn and Paul Feyerabend both independently introduced the idea of incommensurability to the philosophy of science. In both cases the concept came from mathematics and in its original sense is defined as the absence of a common unit of measurement that would allow a direct and exact measurement of two variable s, such as the prediction of the diagonal of a square geometry square from the relationship of its side geometry side s.
