| Description: |
Chaos research has triggered deep discussions in the philosophy of science. This volume discusses the fundamental problems of the concepts of law and of prediction in the light of chaos research. Although some familiarity with physics is assumed, the book is accessible to the general reader. |
| Synopsis: |
Like relativity and quantum theory chaos research is another prominent concept of 20th century physics that has triggered deep and far-reaching discussions in the philosophy of science. In this volume outstanding scientists discuss the fundamental problems of the concepts of law and of prediction. They present their views in their contributions to this volume, but they also are exposed to criticism in transcriptions of recordings made during discussions and in comments on their views also published in this book. Although all authors assume familiarity with some background in physics they also address the philosophers of science and even a general audience interested in modern science's contribution to a deeper understanding of reality. |
