There Are No Such Things as Theories
ISBN: 9780198848158 / Angielski / Twarda / 2020 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. There Are No Such Things as Theories considers the fundamental question: what is a scientific theory? It presents a range of options - from theories are sets of propositions, to theories are families of models, abstract artefacts, or fictions - and highlights the various problems they all face. In so doing it draws multiple comparisons between theories and artworks: on the one hand, theories are like certain kinds of paintings with regard to their representational capacity; on the other, they are like musical works in that they can be multiply presented. An alternative answer to the question...

The Structure of the World: Metaphysics and Representation
ISBN: 9780198776666 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In The Structure of the World, Steven French articulates and defends the bold claim that there are no objects. At the most fundamental level, modern physics presents us with a world of structures and making sense of that view is the central aim of the increasingly widespread position known as structural realism. Drawing on contemporary work in metaphysics and philosophy of science, as well as the 'forgotten' history of structural realism itself, French attempts to further ground and develop this position. He argues that structural realism offers the best...

Philosophy of Science: Key Concepts
ISBN: 9781474245241 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Science has made a huge impact on human society over hundred years, but how does it work? How do scientists do the things they do? How do they come up with the theories? How do they test them? How do they use these theories to explain phenomena? How do they draw conclusions from them about how the world might be? Now updated, this second edition of Philosophy of Science: Key Concepts looks at each of these questions and more. Taking in turn the fundamental theories, processes and views lying at the heart of the philosophy of science, this engaging introduction illuminates the...

Identity in Physics: A Historical, Philosophical, and Formal Analysis
ISBN: 9780199575633 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Can quantum particles be regarded as individuals, just like books, tables and people? According to the 'received' view - articulated by several physicists in the immediate aftermath of the quantum revolution - quantum physics itself tells us they cannot: quantum particles, unlike their classical counterparts, must be regarded as 'non-individuals' in some sense. However, recent work has indicated that this is not the whole story and that the theory is also consistent with the position that such particles can be taken to be individuals, albeit at a metaphysical price.

ISBN: 9780199278244 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Steven French and Decio Krause examine the metaphysical foundations of quantum physics. They draw together historical, logical, and philosophical perspectives on the fundamental nature of quantum particles and offer new insights on a range of important issues. Focusing on the concepts of identity and individuality, the authors explore two alternative metaphysical views; according to one, quantum particles are no different from books, tables, and people in this respect; according to the other, they most certainly are. Each view comes with certain costs attached and after describing their...

ISBN: 9780199269693 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What is spacetime? General relativity and quantum field theory answer this question in very different ways. This collection of essays by physicists and philosophers looks at the problem of uniting these two most fundamental theories of our world, focusing on the nature of space and time within this new quantum framework, and the kind of metaphysical picture suggested by recent developments in physics and mathematics. This is a book that will inspire further philosophical reflection on recent advances in modern physics.
