Description
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 formalism, so that the discussion will be accessible to those without a training in philosophy or physics.
