The traditional topics of the "philosophy of nature" - space, time,
causality, the structure of the universe - are overwhelmingly
present in our modern scientific theories. This book traces the
complex paths that discussion of these topics has followed, from
Plato and Aristotle, through Descartes, Leibniz, Kant and other
great thinkers, right up to the relativistic cosmologies and the
grand unified theories of contemporary science. In the light of
this historical development, it becomes clear that modern science
gives us not only a technological power over the world, but also a
deeper understanding of physical reality. In this sense, science
could be regarded as an heir to the traditional "philosophy of
nature". Moreover, the reader will learn why science itself
deserves to be the subject of philosophical reflection.
