The physics of condensed matter, in contrast to quantum physics or
cosmology, is not traditionally associated with deep philosophical
questions. However, as science - largely thanks to more powerful
computers - becomes capable of analysing and modelling ever more
complex many-body systems, basic questions of philosophical
relevance arise. Questions about the emergence of structure, the
nature of cooperative behaviour, the implications of the second
law, the quantum-classical transition and many other issues. This
book is a collection of essays by leading physicists and
philosophers. Each investigates one or more of these issues, making
use of examples from modern condensed matter research. Physicists
and philosophers alike will find surprising and stimulating ideas
in these pages.
