Bøker i Philosophy and Foundations of Physics-serien

Considers several interpretative difficulties raised by gauge-type symmetries (those that correspond to no change in physical state). This book focuses on spacetime physics, and in particular classical and quantum general relativity.

Discusses the ontological status of spacetime and the processes occurring in it from a point of view that is conceptual and philosophical. This book discusses space and time in present-day physics and philosophy. It offers an introduction from scratch of the debates surrounding time. It features a spectrum of different approaches.

Contains selected papers from the First International Conference on the Ontology of Spacetime. This book provides chapters that address two main questions: what is the status of the substantivalism/relationalism debate, and what about the prospects of presentism and becoming within present-day physics and its philosophy?

Provides an introduction to the 'standard model' of particle physics. This text focuses upon the elegant mathematical structures and the foundational concepts of the standard model. It combines an exposition of the philosophical foundations and rigorous mathematical structure of particle physics.
