Inconsistency, Asymmetry, and Non-Locality: A Philosophical Investigation of Classical Electrodynamics
ISBN: 9780195172157 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Mathias Frisch provides the first sustained philosophical discussion of conceptual problems in classical particle-field theories. Part of the book focuses on the problem of a satisfactory equation of motion for charged particles interacting with electromagnetic fields. As Frisch shows, the standard equation of motion results in a mathematically inconsistent theory, yet there is no fully consistent and conceptually unproblematic alternative theory. Frisch describes in detail how the search for a fundamental equation of motion is partly driven by pragmatic considerations (like simplicity and...

Causal Reasoning in Physics
ISBN: 9781107031494 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Much has been written on the role of causal notions and causal reasoning in the so-called 'special sciences' and in common sense. But does causal reasoning also play a role in physics? Mathias Frisch argues that, contrary to what influential philosophical arguments purport to show, the answer is yes. Time-asymmetric causal structures are as integral a part of the representational toolkit of physics as a theory's dynamical equations. Frisch develops his argument partly through a critique of anti-causal arguments and partly through a detailed examination of actual examples of causal notions in...
