  • Time and Space

    by Barry Dainton ...
    The first edition (2001) of this title quickly established itself on courses on the philosophy of time and space. This fully revised and expanded new edition sees the addition of chapters on Zeno's paradoxes, speculative contemporary developments in physics, and dynamic time, making the second edition, once again, unrivalled in its breadth of coverage. Surveying both historical debates and the ... Read more

  • Quantum Ontology

    A Guide to the Metaphysics of Quantum Mechanics

    by Peter J. Lewis ...
    Metaphysicians should pay attention to quantum mechanics. Why? Not because it provides definitive answers to many metaphysical questions-the theory itself is remarkably silent on the nature of the physical world, and the various interpretations of the theory on offer present conflicting ontological pictures. Rather, quantum mechanics is essential to the metaphysician because it reshapes standard ... Read more

  • Many Worlds?

    Everett, Quantum Theory, & Reality

    Edited by Simon Saunders, Jonathan Barrett, Adrian Kent, David Wallace ...
    What does realism about the quantum state imply? What follows when quantum theory is applied without restriction, if need be, to the whole universe? These are the questions which an illustrious team of philosophers and physicists debate in this volume. All the contributors are agreed on realism, and on the need, or the aspiration, for a theory that unites micro- and macroworlds, at least in ... Read more

  • From Current Algebra to Quantum Chromodynamics

    A Case for Structural Realism

    by Tian Yu Cao ...
    The advent of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) in the early 1970s was one of the most important events in twentieth-century science. This book examines the conceptual steps that were crucial to the rise of QCD, placing them in historical context against the background of debates that were ongoing between the bootstrap approach and composite modeling, and between mathematical and realistic conceptions ...

  • Quantum Meaning

    A Semantic Interpretation of Quantum Theory

    by Ashish Dalela ...
    The problems of indeterminism, uncertainty and statistics in quantum theory are legend and have spawned a wide-variety of interpretations, none too satisfactory.The key issue of discontent is the conflict between the microscopic and the macroscopic worlds: How does a classically certain world emerge from a world of uncertainty and probability? To attempt to solve this riddle, we must first ... Read more

  • Discrete or Continuous?

    The Quest for Fundamental Length in Modern Physics

    by Amit Hagar ...
    The idea of infinity plays a crucial role in our understanding of the universe, with the infinite spacetime continuum perhaps the best-known example - but is spacetime really continuous? Throughout the history of science, many have felt that the continuum model is an unphysical idealization, and that spacetime should be thought of as 'quantized' at the smallest of scales. Combining novel ... Read more

  • On Time, Causality, and the Block Universe 

    Scientific answers to our deepest questions

    by Anthony C Proctor ...
    May of us harbour deep questions on subjects such as the origin of the universe, the concepts of time and causality, the nature of consciousness and free will, the mind-body problems of philosophy, the relationship between mathematics and physics, and more. Conventional answers will usually be from fundamental physics (often deeply mathematical) or philosophy (often very abstract). This work takes ... Read more
