Omschrijving

Physics and Philosophy is a book written by James Jeans, a renowned British physicist and mathematician. Published in 1942, the book explores the relationship between physics and philosophy, particularly in the context of the new developments in physics during the early 20th century.The book is divided into three parts. The first part discusses the fundamental concepts of physics, such as space, time, and matter, and how they relate to philosophical ideas. Jeans argues that the concepts of physics have a profound impact on our understanding of the world and our place in it.The second part of the book delves into the philosophy of science, examining the nature of scientific knowledge and the scientific method. Jeans discusses the limits of scientific knowledge and the role of intuition and creativity in scientific discovery.The final part of the book explores the implications of modern physics for our understanding of reality. Jeans discusses the theories of relativity and quantum mechanics, and how they challenge our traditional notions of causality and determinism.Throughout the book, Jeans emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to understanding the world, one that combines both scientific and philosophical perspectives. He argues that the study of physics and philosophy are not mutually exclusive, but rather complementary, and that a deeper understanding of one can lead to a deeper understanding of the other.Overall, Physics and Philosophy is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a unique perspective on the relationship between science and philosophy. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and philosophy of science, as well as the broader implications of scientific discoveries for our understanding of the world.1942. The aim of this book is to discuss, and to some extent explore, that borderland territory between physics and philosophy in an interesting and contemporary light. Contents: what are physics and philosophy; how do we know; the two voices of science and philosophy; the passing of the mechanical age; the new physics; from appearance to reality; some problems of philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
