The Routledge Companion to Philosophy of Physics is a comprehensive
and authoritative guide to the state of the art in the philosophy
of physics. It comprisess 54 self-contained chapters written by
leading philosophers of physics at both senior and junior levels,
making it the most thorough and detailed volume of its type on the
market – nearly every major perspective in the field is
represented. The Companion’s 54 chapters are organized into 12
parts. The first seven parts cover all of the major physical
theories investigated by philosophers of physics today, and the
last five explore key themes that unite the study of these
theories. I. Newtonian Mechanics II. Special Relativity III.
General Relativity IV. Non-Relativistic Quantum Theory V. Quantum
Field Theory VI. Quantum Gravity VII. Statistical Mechanics and
Thermodynamics VIII. Explanation IX. Intertheoretic Relations X.
Symmetries XI. Metaphysics XII. Cosmology The difficulty level of
the chapters has been carefully pitched so as to offer both
accessible summaries for those new to philosophy of physics and
standard reference points for active researchers on the front
lines. An introductory chapter by the editors maps out the field,
and each part also begins with a short summary that places the
individual chapters in context. The volume will be indispensable to
any serious student or scholar of philosophy of physics.
