	Open Court: Pierre Duhem
		Duhem took his inspiration, not from the papally-sponsored revival of the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas, but from Pascal, a fact that aroused suspicions of skepticism in the minds of conservative Catholics.
		Duhem argues that physics could not legitimately be used to attack Christianity, but he held that physics was equally useless for the defense of Christianity, a position which made him unpopular with many Catholics.
		Duhem demonstrated that figures like Leonardo and Galileo were not isolation pioneers; far from being the founders of a new science, they were continuing a tradition of scientific work that had been developing for centuries.

	The religion of Pierre Duhem, physicist
		In 1953 the Nobel Laureate Louis de Broglie, permanent secretary of the French Academie des Sciences, remarked that Pierre Duhem was "one of the most remarkable French physicists at the turn of the century."
		Duhem's philosophy of science is well developed in an article (1905) denying a metaphysician's accusing him of having the "Physics of a Believer." He himself insisted upon the autonomy of the scientific method, its independence of metaphysical opinions.
		Duhem goes further and allows for the possible use of analogy between the limit of the scientific world (beyond phenomena) and the real "natural world," (illustrated in a comparison of a modernized Aristotelian cosmology with general thermodynamics).

	History of Twentieth-Century Philosophy of Science Book 2
		Pierre Duhem (1861-1916), another important early Positivist, studied physics at the Ecole Normale in Paris, where he received a doctorate in physics, and was a professor of physics at the University of Bordeaux for most of his career.
		Unlike Mach, Duhem accepted the Aristotelian metaphysics, which he viewed as separate from Positivist physics, and believed that progress in physical theory asymptotically approaches a "natural classification", which he viewed as analogous to the cosmology of Aristotle.
		Duhem’s philosophy differed from Mach’s philosophy by the former’s acceptance of physical theory as integral to physics, and his development of a semantical metatheory to locate theory in Positivist physics.
