Philosophy of Physics
ISBN: 9780198751380 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The systematic study of the physical world had its orgins in philosophy; two-and-a-half millennia later, the scientific advances of the 20th century are bringing the two fields closer together again. In this textbook, the author gives a broad overview of the contemporary philosophy of physics. A guide is provided to the key topics: the nature of space and time, the problems of probability and irreversibility in statistical mechanics, and, of course, the many notorious problems raised by quantum mechanics. It discusses sophisticated scientific questions, but avoids the use of technical...

Space, Time, and Spacetime
ISBN: 9780520031746 / Angielski / Miękka / 1977 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this book, Lawrence Sklar demonstrates the interdependence of science and philosophy by examining a number of crucial problems on the nature of space and timeproblems that require for their resolution the resources of philosophy and of physics.
The overall issues explored are our knowledge of the geometry of the world, the existence of spacetime as an entity over and above the material objects of the world, the relation between temporal order and causal order, and the problem of the direction of time. Without neglecting the most subtle philosophical points or the most advanced...

Philosophy and the Foundations of Dynamics
ISBN: 9780521716307 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 279 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Although now replaced by more modern theories, classical mechanics remains a core foundational element of physical theory. From its inception, the theory of dynamics has been riddled with conceptual issues and differing philosophical interpretations and throughout its long historical development, it has shown subtle conceptual refinement. The interpretive program for the theory has also shown deep evolutionary change over time. Lawrence Sklar discusses crucial issues in the central theory from which contemporary foundational theories are derived and shows how some core issues (the nature of...

Theory and Truth: Philosophical Critique Within Foundational Science
ISBN: 9780199251575 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Skeptics have cast doubt on the idea that scientific theories give us a true picture of an objective world. Lawrence Sklar examines three kinds of skeptical arguments about scientific truth, and explores the important role they play within foundational science itself. Sklar demonstrates that these kinds of philosophical critique are employed within science, and reveals the clear difference between how they operate in a scientific context and more abstract philosophical contexts. The underlying theme of Theory and Truth is that science and philosophy are essential to one another. Sklar...

Physical Theory: Method and Interpretation
ISBN: 9780195145649 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In nine new essays, distinguished philosophers of science take on outstanding philosophical issues that arise in the exploration of the foundations of contemporary, especially physical scientific theories. In the first part of the book issues of scientific method are explored. What are we asking when we pose scientific "why?" questions? How does probability play a role in answering such questions? What are scientific laws of nature? How can we understand what abstract theories are telling us about the world? What is the structure of the theories we use to explain the observable phenomena?...

Probability and Confirmation
ISBN: 9780815327035 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. About the Series Contemporary philosophy of science combines a general study from a philosophical perspective of the methods of science, with an inquiry, again from the philosophical point of view, into foundational issues that arise in the various special sciences. Methodological philosophy of science has deep connections with issues at the center of pure philosophy. It makes use of important results, for example, in traditional epistemology, metaphysics and the philosophy of language. It also connects in various ways with other disciplines such as the history and sociology of the sciences,...

Physics and Chance: Philosophical Issues in the Foundations of Statistical Mechanics
ISBN: 9780521558815 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Statistical mechanics is one of the crucial fundamental theories of physics, and in his new book Lawrence Sklar, one of the pre-eminent philosophers of physics, offers a comprehensive, non-technical introduction to that theory and to attempts to understand its foundational elements. Among the topics treated in detail are: probability and statistical explanation, the basic issues in both equilibrium and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, the role of cosmology, the reduction of thermodynamics to statistical mechanics, and the alleged foundation of the very notion of time asymmetry in the...
