The systematic study of the physical world had its orgins in
philosophy; two-and-a-half millennia later, the scientific advances
of the twentieth century are bringing the two fields closer
together again. In this brilliant new textbook, Lawrence Sklar
gives a broad overview of contemporary philosophy of physics which
readers at all levels, especially students, should find accessible
and engaging. Professor Sklar provides a clear and accurate guide
to the key topics: the nature of space and time, the problems of
probability and irreversibility in statistical mechanics, and, of
course, the many notorious problems raised by quantum mechanics. He
discusses sophisticated scientific questions, but avoids the use of
technical formalism, so that the discussion will be accessible to
those without a training in philosophy or physics.
