This interdisciplinary volume collects contributions from experts
in their respective fields with as common theme diagrams. Diagrams
play a fundamental role in the mathematical visualization and
philosophical analysis of forms in space. Some of the most
interesting and profound recent developments in contemporary
sciences, whether in topology, geometry, dynamic systems theory,
quantum field theory or string theory, have been made possible by
the introduction of new types of diagrams, which, in addition to
their essential role in the discovery of new classes of spaces and
phenomena, have contributed to enriching and clarifying the meaning
of the operations, structures and properties that are at the heart
of these spaces and phenomena. The volume gives a closer look at
the scope and the nature of diagrams as constituents of
mathematical and physical thought, their function in contemporary
artistic work, and appraise, in particular, the actual importance
of the diagrams of knots, of braids, of fields, of interaction, of
strings in topology and geometry, in quantum physics and in
cosmology, but also in theory of perception, in plastic arts and in
philosophy. The editors carefully curated this volume to be an
inspiration to students and researchers in philosophy,
phenomenology, mathematics and the sciences, as well as artists,
musicians and the general interested audience.
