  • Relational Passage of Time

    by Matias Slavov ...
    Series series Routledge Studies in Metaphysics
    This book defends a relational theory of the passage of time. The realist view of passage developed in this book differs from the robust, substantivalist position. According to relationism, passage is nothing over and above the succession of events, one thing coming after another. Causally related events are temporally arranged as they happen one after another along observers’ worldlines. There is ... Read more

  • String Theory and the Scientific Method

    by Richard Dawid ...

However, the theory remains empirically unconfirmed, and is expected to remain so for the foreseeable future. So why do string theorists have such a strong belief in their theory? This book explores this ... Read more

  • Many Worlds?

    Everett, Quantum Theory, & Reality

    Edited by Simon Saunders, Jonathan Barrett, Adrian Kent, David Wallace ...
    What does realism about the quantum state imply? What follows when quantum theory is applied without restriction, if need be, to the whole universe? These are the questions which an illustrious team of philosophers and physicists debate in this volume. All the contributors are agreed on realism, and on the need, or the aspiration, for a theory that unites micro- and macroworlds, at least in ... Read more

    by Jerome R. Busemeyer, Peter D. Bruza ...
    Much of our understanding of human thinking is based on probabilistic models. This innovative book by Jerome R. Busemeyer and Peter D. Bruza argues that, actually, the underlying mathematical structures from quantum theory provide a much better account of human thinking than traditional models. They introduce the foundations for modeling probabilistic-dynamic systems using two aspects of quantum ... Read more
