Kaum einem anderen Fach haftet der Ruf des Komplizierten und Formellastigen so stark an, wie der Physik. Doch sind viele der grundlegenden Konzepte und Prinzipien auch ohne tiefere mathematische Ausbildung verstandlich.
Dieses Buch soll eine Brucke zwischen den verschiedenen Kulturen der Geistes- und der Naturwissenschaften schlagen. Dabei geht der Autor in seiner Abhandlung weit uber das Niveau vorhandener popularwissenschaftlicher Darstellungen hinaus. Ein separates Kapitel liefert die mathematischen Grundlagen, die das Verstandnis vieler physikalischer Konzepte erleichtern. Dies gibt...

A prophecy states the possible scenarios that may await us; on the one hand to prepare us for them and on the other to show how intricately interconnected are the threads of time - so much so that we are able to foresee events, if only in allegorical form.

It is perhaps this which brings all prophecies closest to our daily lives: they remind us of the "circular" dimension of space and time where, more than chronology or the reading of cause and effect, what counts is the angle from which we observe events amid the laws governing the universe.

Online, offline, Linienflug, rote Linie, Richtlinie, Horizont - in unserer Sprache und unserem Alltag sind Linien omniprasent. Auch in Kunsten, Philosophie und Wissenschaften spielen sie eine zentrale Rolle. Sie sind grundlegend wie Bild, Schrift oder Zahl. Aus der Selbstverstandlichkeit, mit der sie unsere Orientierung steuern, unser Denken ordnen und unserer visuellen Erfahrung Gestalt geben, hebt der Band einen komplexen Zusammenhang heraus: Er fuhrt in Texte aus verschiedenen historischen Zusammenhangen ein, in denen Begriff und Phanomen der Linie ausdrucklich und exemplarisch zum...

This volume presents an historical and philosophical revisiting of the foundational character of Turing's conceptual contributions and assesses the impact of the work of Alan Turing on the history and philosophy of science. Written by experts from a variety of disciplines, the book draws out the continuing significance of Turing's work. The centennial of Turing's birth in 2012 led to the highly celebrated "Alan Turing Year," which stimulated a world-wide cooperative, interdisciplinary revisiting of his life and work. Turing is widely regarded as one of the most important scientists of the...

A philosopher, scholar of the natural world, and gifted mathematician, Thomas Reid holds a distinctive place in the Scottish Enlightenment. This volume reconstructs Reid's lifelong engagement with the physical sciences and makes clear why these fields were central to his epistemology and moral and social philosophy.

Placing Reid's "Essay on Quantity" alongside his previously unpublished writings on mathematics and the physical sciences, Paul Wood shows that, in contrast to Francis Hutcheson and David Hume, Reid was a philosopher rooted not only in the science of man but also in the...
