This book combines physics, history, and philosophy in a radical new approach to introducing the philosophy of physics. Accessible to readers with little background in physics or philosophy, this book allows the reader to wrestle with the metaphysical and conceptual problems that drove innovation in physics, from nineteenth-century electromagnetic field theory through relativity and quantum mechanics. Among the topics treated are locality, causality, and scientific explanation; relativity, energy, mass, and the reality of fields; and quantum metaphysics. The book's engaging, non-technical style makes it ideal for those who want to go beyond the equations and discover what physics reveals about reality.
"Marc Lange uses the philosophical tools of traditional metaphysicsto analyze examples drawn from electromagnetic theory and quantummechanics and in turn uses these examples to refine some of thebasic concepts of traditional metaphysics. The result is anexcellent introduction to the best sort of metaphysics, the sortthat is informed by our best physical theories." JeffreyBarrett, University of California, Irvine
"This is philosophy of physics that meets even Feynman'schallenge of making a difference for physics while it attainsHempel's standards of clarity. I can hardly imagine teaching thephilosophy of physics, at any level, from introductory to graduateseminar, without using this book!" Alex Rosenberg, DukeUniversity
"Eschewing the technical jargon of philosophy of science, thoughhe is a fluent contributor to journals and refers to current issuesin appropriate notes, Lange employs a breezy, common languagestyle, complete with discussion questions suitable for anundergraduate introductory class. [...] Highly recommended tophilosphically inexperienced physicists as well as current studentsin philosophy of science. Lower-division undergraduates throughfaculty." P.D. Skiff, Bard College, Choice, January2003
