Beschreibung
This book is the first to offer a systematic account of the role of language in the development and interpretation of physics. An historical-conceptual analysis of the co-evolution of mathematical and physical concepts leads to the classical/quatum interface. Bohrian orthodoxy stresses the indispensability of classical concepts and the functional role of mathematics. This book analyses ways of extending, and then going beyond this orthodoxy orthodoxy. Finally, the book analyzes how a revised interpretation of physics impacts on basic philosophical issues: conceptual revolutions, realism, and reductionism.

Zusammenfassung

This is the only systematic treatment of the role of language in the interpretation of physics

The interpretation of quantum mechanics accommodates current advances in quantum field theory

This book breaches the separation between analysis and philosophy of science

This book is the final outcome of many years of work on the philosophy of physics
