What are the thinking processes and knowledge resources involved in
a complex discovery? How can the physics of solids, the physics of
nuclei, and elementary particle physics cross-fertilise in spite of
the widely differing domains and energy scales they deal with? This
book addresses the questions by reconstructing and examining from
the historical epistemological perspective the fascinating
heuristic path to the concept of spontaneous symmetry breaking.
This analysis especially brings to light the role that analogical
reasoning and mathematical reformulations played in the discovery
process, as well as the influence of the Japanese milieu and
approach to physical problems.
