Philosophical Foundations of Quantum Field Theory
Harvey R. Brown & Rom Harré (eds.)
Oxford University Press (1988)
| Abstract | Quantum field theory, one of the most rapidly developing areas of contemporary physics, is full of problems of great theoretical and philosophical interest. This collection of essays is the first systematic exploration of the nature and implications of quantum field theory. The contributors discuss quantum field theory from a wide variety of standpoints, exploring in detail its mathematical structure and metaphysical and methodological implications. | |||||||||
