This volume defends a novel approach to the philosophy of physics:
it is the first book devoted to a comparative study of probability,
causality, and propensity, and their various interrelations, within
the context of contemporary physics -- particularly quantum and
statistical physics. The philosophical debates and distinctions are
firmly grounded upon examples from actual physics, thus
exemplifying a robustly empiricist approach. The essays, by both
prominent scholars in the field and promising young researchers,
constitute a pioneer effort in bringing out the connections between
probabilistic, causal and dispositional aspects of the quantum
domain. The book will appeal to specialists in philosophy and
foundations of physics, philosophy of science in general,
metaphysics, ontology of physics theories, and philosophy of
probability.
