Interpreting Bodies : : Classical and Quantum Objects in Modern Physics /

Interpreting Bodies : : Classical and Quantum Objects in Modern Physics / / ed. by Elena Castellani.

Bewildering features of modern physics, such as relativistic space-time structure and the peculiarities of so-called quantum statistics, challenge traditional ways of conceiving of objects in space and time. Interpreting Bodies brings together essays by leading philosophers and scientists to provide...
