Description
The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Physics provides an overview of key topics in the field, covering both new issues and enduring problems. Recent trends have seen philosophers focus on quantum mechanics, spacetime theories, and gauge invariance, while also exploring alternative approaches such as phenomenological theories. In this handbook, leading thinkers address a range of subjects, including the measurement problem, relationalism vs substantivalism, and the relationship between thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. The book offers up-to-date discussions on these topics, as well as new perspectives on long-standing issues in philosophy of physics. With its comprehensive coverage and authoritative contributions from experts in the field, this handbook is an essential resource for anyone interested in the philosophical foundations of physics.
