  • Causation in Physics

    by Christopher Gregory Weaver ...
    Series series Elements in the Philosophy of Physics

  • Quantum Reality

    The Quest for the Real Meaning of Quantum Mechanics - a Game of Theories

    by Jim Baggott ...
    Quantum mechanics is an extraordinarily successful scientific theory. It is also completely mad. Although the theory quite obviously works, it leaves us chasing ghosts and phantoms; particles that are waves and waves that are particles; cats that are at once both alive and dead; and lots of seemingly spooky goings-on. But if we're prepared to be a little more specific about what we mean when we ... Read more

    A Very Short Introduction

    by Richard Earl ...
    Series series Very Short Introductions
    Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, sharp, inspiring The 17th-century calculus of Newton and Leibniz was built on shaky foundations, and it wasn't until the 18th and 19th centuries that mathematicians--especially Bolzano, Cauchy, and Weierstrass--began to establish a rigorous basis for the subject.

  • Relational Passage of Time

    by Matias Slavov ...
    Series series Routledge Studies in Metaphysics
    This book defends a relational theory of the passage of time. The realist view of passage developed in this book differs from the robust, substantivalist position. According to relationism, passage is nothing over and above the succession of events, one thing coming after another. Causally related events are temporally arranged as they happen one after another along observers’ worldlines. There is ... Read more

  • What Makes Time Special?

    by Craig Callender ...
    As we navigate through life we instinctively model time as having a flowing present that divides a fixed past from open future. This model develops in childhood and is deeply saturated within our language, thought and behavior, affecting our conceptions of the universe, freedom and the self. Yet as central as it is to our lives, physics seems to have no room for this flowing present. What Makes ... Read more
