Zhu K: A Historicized Ontology for the
Quantum World

A Historicized Ontology for the Quantum World

A Philosophical Investigation of the Quantum Histories Interpretation

God, Bodies, Minds

Newton’s Metaphysics of Substance

The aim of this textbook is to improve students' ability to formulate economic problems and provide essential mathematical tools for analysis across various contexts. This book presents the author's current understanding of mathematics, shaped by several years of teaching this subject as well as enriched through interactions with his students. To aid students in their learning, the book is written in a manner that better highlights key concepts and provides additional clarity when possible. In this way, it is hoped that students will feel more guided in their study of mathematics and its applications in microeconomics.

Essential Mathematics For Microeconomics: A Student's Guide To Key Mathematical Techniques

Dualism has a long track in philosophy. Although often overlooked, it supports much of our worldview, and lies at the center of many frontline scientific issues. This dialectic has specific phrasings in different scientific areas, but it is arguably the expression of the same conflict in diverse contexts: namely, the framework between Matter and Information, or, metaphorically, the frontier between the Territory and the Map. This book attempts to analyse this Map/Territory frontier in several quite different settings, including its relevance in the present trans-humanist projects. It tries to draw parallelisms and similarities between diverse territories (e.g. the idea of Entropy as the distance between the Map and the Territory, the dependence on deep 'hyperpriors' such as Space, Time or the 'Me/Not-Me' duality, etc). It also points at certain resonances between a number of very actual scientific problems and certain trends in oriental philosophy. This Map/Territory polarity is especially present in Medicine, and a significant part of the book addresses this polarity as it is perceived in clinical practice.The gap between the Map (disease as an entity) and the Territory (the patient’s ailment) is at the heart of most theoretical (and practical!) medical problems, and is the cause of many patient-physician misunderstandings. We cannot conceive a clinical practice without the concept of disease. But at the same time, we are all painfully aware of the inconsistencies and contradictions brought by this paradigm. The impending crisis derived from this approach, as well as some other alternative medical narratives are discussed.

Hegel's philosophy is often presented as a reconciliation between thought and the world, and thus logic and metaphysics. But what is the basis of this reconciliation? In this book, Clark Wolf argues that the key to Hegel's transformation of philosophy lies in his recognition of the special logical basis of the humanly made world. Human artifacts and institutions are not merely represented by concepts; concepts are necessary for their very existence. For this reason, Hegel sees the human world, the world of spirit or Geist, as more central in philosophy than the mind-independent world of nature. Hegel's philosophy is thus a humanism. Wolf argues that this humanistic conception of philosophy is justified in Hegel's Science of Logic, since its logical basis is his theory of concepts. Through a detailed interpretation of the Doctrine of the Concept, this book sheds new light on Hegelian idealism.

There may exist something like the most unbearable of all philosophical thoughts. It is the thought of contingency and universality converging, intersecting, and being one and the same thing, approached from two different perspectives. Hardly anything is as unsettling as the insight into the absolute contingency of the emergence of universals, and the correlative realization that the only true universality is one of the contingency of everything. The goal of this book is to think this unbearable thought through to the end and face up to its most binding and disconcerting consequences. The history of science is full of theoretical unifications of two previously mutually exclusive concepts or two opposite realms (natural and unnatural motion in Galilei, terrestrial and celestial physics in Newton, man and animal in Darwin, electricity and magnetism in Maxwell, mass and energy, space and time, acceleration and gravity in Einstein, etc.). This book is based on the conjecture that what philosophy is lacking is a similar unification of the concepts of "contingency" and "universality." The book will thereby try to accomplish an operation that is implicit in the philosophy of Slavoj Zizek. In doing so, it will provide new answers to questions on the nature of contingency, necessity, predictability of the future, the validity of the laws of nature, the role of singularity in relation to universality, chaos and order, reality and truth. These answers will differ starkly from the ones advocated by contemporary philosophers such as Badiou, Meillassoux, some other speculative realists, and some analytical philosophers of science.

Mit gesellschaftlichem und technischem Wandel gehen neue Anforderungen an die Wissenschaft einher: Sie muss Ansprüchen an Zugänglichkeit und Partizipationsmöglichkeiten gerecht werden und eine engagierte Mitgestaltung der Gesellschaft durch vielfältigen Wissenstransfer ermöglichen. Allerdings wächst das Misstrauen gegenüber wissenschaftlichem Wissen und technologiebasierten Problemlösungen. Zudem ist das Feld von einer kontinuierlichen Vervielfältigung von Verantwortlichkeit, Vermittlungsformaten und Akteur*innen-Konstellationen geprägt. Die Beiträger*innen des Bandes analysieren diese Spannungsfelder aus interdisziplinären Perspektiven und ziehen dazu aktuelle und historische Beispiele heran.

The Credibility Crisis in Science

The International Bestseller 'Ambitious . . . pleasingly full of cutting-edge topics' - New Scientist 'A physics book unlike any other. The scope, depth and artistry are breathtaking' - John Preskill, theoretical physicist and Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at Caltech Quantum physics is the cornerstone of our world. Yet, at the same time, it's one of the hardest subjects for ordinary mortals to grasp. In Why Nobody Understands Quantum Physics, a husband-and-wife duo demystifies this essential branch of science. He, one of the world's leading physicists, peels back layers of the quantum world with unparalleled insights into the latest research. She, a writer, puts these scientific revelations into everyday language with wit and charm. Together, they unravel the reasons the universe behaves in the weird ways it does - and just why it's so important to understand them. Their book will reveal:<ul><li>How symmetry governs the universe.</li><li>The untold stories of pioneering women in quantum science.</li><li>How quantum principles power our gadgets and lives.</li><li>The real essence behind quantum puzzles and discoveries.</li></ul> The result is a groundbreaking journey into quantum physics that transforms our understanding of the universe and its boundless possibilities with clarity, wonder and humour. Why Nobody Understands Quantum Physics is a bridge between the complex world of quantum physics and the curious mind - simplifying without diluting and enlightening without overwhelming. 'Entertaining, unorthodox and highly readable' - Professor Ian Stewart FRS, bestselling author of The Science of Discworld 'A delightful book for all those who do not speak the language of mathematics but are curious about the most beautiful of theories and their impact on our lives' - Barbara Terhal, theoretical physicist
