    par William M. R. Simpson ...
    Collections series Elements in the Philosophy of Biology

  • Surprises in Theoretical Casimir Physics

    Quantum Forces in Inhomogeneous Media

    par William M.R. Simpson ...
    Collections series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Despite more than half a century of theoretical work, the Casimir effect is still not as fully understood as some suppose. In this treatise, the author uncovers new puzzles and paradoxes concerning this mysterious phenomenon. In particular, he clearly demonstrates that the most sophisticated theories fail when confronted with dielectrics in which the refractive index is not uniform but gradually ... En savoir plus

  • 50 Philosophy of Science Ideas You Really Need to Know

    par Gareth Southwell ...
    Collections series 50 Ideas You Really Need to Know series

Thanks to scientific knowledge we have walked on the Moon, cured once-fatal illnesses, and even identified the very building blocks of life and the universe. But it is these very successes that underline the need for philosophy.How much ... En savoir plus

  • Relational Passage of Time

    par Matias Slavov ...
    Collections series Routledge Studies in Metaphysics
    This book defends a relational theory of the passage of time. The realist view of passage developed in this book differs from the robust, substantivalist position.
