![]() ![]() In dieser Auseinandersetzung hat sich Karl Popper mit seiner erkenntnistheoretischen Kritik an der Kopenhagener Interpretation auf die Seite Einsteins gestellt, eine Teilcheninterpretation der Quantenobjekte favorisiert und in diesem Zusammenhang seine Propensitätsinterpretation der Wahrscheinlichkeit entwickelt. Bohr-Einstein-Debatte bekannt geworden sind. ![]() Über solche Interpretationsfragen gab es von Anfang an unterschiedliche Auffassungen, die vor allem durch die sog. um methodologische, erkenntnistheoretische und metaphysische Fragen, die durch sie aufgeworfen werden. Selbst wenn Popper Experimente vorschlug, ging es ihm aber nicht um die Weiterentwicklung der Physik, sondern um die Interpretation der Quantentheorie, d. Eine Reihe dieser Arbeiten sind in physikalischen Zeitschriften erschienen und viele Physiker nahmen darauf Bezug. Karl Popper hat sich in vielen Schriften immer wieder mit der Quantenmechanik auseinandergesetzt. The same structure is used in The Ashgate Companion to Contemporary Philosophy of Physics (Rickles 2008) though the focus here is not so much on completeness in themes but rather on bringing the reader to the forefront of issues in contemporary philosophy of physics. Classifying philosophy of physics according to the main areas of physics continues to be a widely used strategy as can be seen from the recent Handbook in the Philosophy of Physics (Butterfield and Earman 2007) -an impressive, almost 1,500 pages, and detailed compendium of foundational and philosophical matters in most areas of the physics landscape. 1 Thus, a 'classic' textbook in the field, Sklar's Philosophy of Physics from 1992, deals precisely with philosophical issues related to these core fields of physics. The philosophy of physics has traditionally been concerned with philosophical problems arising in, and in connection with, the main physics disciplines as developed in the (late nineteenth and) twentieth century: Space-time physics (mostly the theories of relativity), quantum physics and statistical physics. ![]() Key features - Definitive discussions of the philosophical implications of modern physics - Masterly expositions of the fundamental theories of modern physics - Covers all three main pillars of modern physics: relativity theory, quantum theory, and thermal physics - Covers the new sciences grown from these theories: for example, cosmology from relativity theory and quantum information and quantum computing, from quantum theory - Contains special Chapters that address crucial topics that arise in several different theories, such as symmetry and determinism - Written by very distinguished theoretical physicists, including a Nobel Laureate, as well as by philosophers - Definitive discussions of the philosophical implications of modern physics - Masterly expositions of the fundamental theories of modern physics - Covers all three main pillars of modern physics: relativity theory, quantum theory, and thermal physics - Covers the new sciences that have grown from these theories: for example, cosmology from relativity theory and quantum information and quantum computing, from quantum theory - Contains special Chapters that address crucial topics that arise in several different theories, such as symmetry and determinism - Written by very distinguished theoretical physicists, including a Nobel Laureate, as well as by philosophers. Some of the best work in the philosophy of physics is being done by physicists, as witnessed by the fact that several of the contributors to the volume are theoretical physicists: viz., Ellis, Emch, Harvey, Landsman, Rovelli, 't Hooft, the last of whom is a Nobel laureate. It follows that there is no sharp line to be drawn between philosophy of physics and physics itself. The organization of this volume, as well as the choice of topics, is based on the conviction that the important problems in the philosophy of physics arise from studying the foundations of the fundamental theories of physics. For example, any philosopher who hopes to make a contribution to the topic of the classical-quantum correspondence will have to begin by consulting Klaas Landsman's chapter. The ambition of this volume is twofold: to provide a comprehensive overview of the field and to serve as an indispensable reference work for anyone who wants to work in it. ![]()
