| Zusammenfassung: | Symmetry considerations dominate modern fundamental physics, both in quantum theory and in relativity. This book presents a collection of philosophy-on-physics papers, highlighting the main issues and controversies, and providing an entry into the subject for both physicists and philosophers. It covers topical issues such as the significance of gauge symmetry, particle identity in quantum theory, how to make sense of parity violation, the role of symmetry-breaking, the empirical status of symmetry principles, and so forth, along with more traditional problems in the philosophy of science. These include the status of the laws of nature, the relationships between mathematics, physical theory, and the world, and the extent to which mathematics dictates physics. A valuable reference for students and researchers, it will also be of interest to those studying the foundations of physics, philosophy of physics and philosophy of science |

This book presents a collection of philosophy-on-physics papers, highlighting the main issues and controversies, and providing an entry into the subject for both physicists and philosophers. It covers topical issues such as the significance of gauge symmetry, particle identity in quantum theory, how to make sense of parity violation, the role of symmetry-breaking, the empirical status of symmetry principles, and so forth, along with more traditional problems in the philosophy of science. These include the status of the laws of nature, the relationships between mathematics, physical theory, and the world, and the extent to which mathematics dictates physics. A valuable reference for students and researchers, it will also be of interest to those studying the foundations of physics, philosophy of physics and philosophy of science Philosophie Symmetry (Physics) Physics / Philosophy Theoretische Physik (DE-588)4117202-4 gnd rswk-swf Physik (DE-588)4045956-1 gnd rswk-swf Philosophie (DE-588)4045791-6 gnd rswk-swf Wissenschaftsphilosophie (DE-588)4202787-1 gnd rswk-swf Symmetrie (DE-588)4058724-1 gnd rswk-swf 1\p (DE-588)4143413-4 Aufsatzsammlung gnd-content Symmetrie (DE-588)4058724-1 s Theoretische Physik (DE-588)4117202-4 s Wissenschaftsphilosophie (DE-588)4202787-1 s 2\p DE-604 Physik (DE-588)4045956-1 s Philosophie (DE-588)4045791-6 s 3\p DE-604 Brading, Katherine 1970- edt Castellani, Elena 1959- edt Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-52889-4 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-82137-7 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511535369 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
