How Bohm’s Theory Solves the Measurement Problem
Bohm Everett hidden variables many worlds
2008/4/14
I examine recent arguments based on functionalism that claim to show that Bohm’s theory fails solve the measurement problem, or if it does so, it is only because it reduces to a form of the many-world...
Holism and Structuralism in U(1) Gauge Theory
Gauge theories gauge symmetry ontological nderdetermination
2008/4/14
After decades of neglect philosophers of physics have discovered gauge theories--arguably the paradigm of modern field physics--as a genuine topic for foundational and philosophical research. Incident...
History of Science and the Material Theory of Induction:Einstein’s Quanta, Mercury’s Perihelion
the Material Theory of Induction History of Science
2008/4/14
The use of the material theory of induction to vindicate a scientist’s claims of evidential warrant is illustrated with the cases of Einstein’s thermodynamic argument for light quanta of 1905 and his ...
Gravity and Gauge Theory
Gauge Theory Gravity
2008/4/14
Gauge theories are theories that are invariant under a characteristic group of "gauge" transformations. General relativity is invariant under transformations of the diffeomorphism group. This has prom...
John Maynard Smith has defended against philosophical criticism the view that developmental biology is the study of the expression of information encoded in the genes by natural selection. However, li...
Generating Ontology: From Quantum Mechanics to Quantum Field Theory
quantum field theory particle physics
2008/4/14
Philosophical interpretations of theories generally presuppose that a theory can be presented as a consistent mathematical formulation that is interpreted through models. Algebraic quantum field theor...
Has Game Theory Been Refuted?
Refuted Theory
2008/4/14
The answer in a nutshell is: Yes, five years ago, but nobody has noticed. Nobody noticed because the majority of social scientists subscribe to one of the following views: (1) the ‘anomalous’ behaviou...
How is scientific knowledge used, adapted and extended in deriving real-world systems and technological devices? This paper aims at developing a general model of "applying science" based on the Exempl...
Evolutionary Theory in the 1920s: The Nature of the 'Synthesis'
evolutionary theory Fisher Haldane
2008/4/11
This paper analyzes the development of evolutionary theory in the period from 1918 to 1932. It argues that: (i) Fisher’s work in 1918 constitutes a not fully satisfactory reduction of biometry to Mend...
Evolutionary theory in philosophical focus
Natural selection Tree of life Units of selection
2008/4/11
This chapter surveys the philosophical problems raised by the two Darwinian claims of the existence of a Tree of a life, and the explanatory power of natural selection. It explores the specificity of ...
EPR-like ``funny business'' in the theory of branching space-times
branching space-times EPR
2008/4/11
EPR-like phenomena are (presumably)indeterministic, but they furthermore suggest thatour world involves seeming-strange ``funnybusiness.'' Without invoking any heavymathematics, the theory of branchi...
Does special relativity theory tell us anything new about space and time?
special relativity space-time operationalism
2008/4/11
It will be shown that, in comparison with the pre-relativistic Galileo-invariant conceptions, special relativity tells us nothing new about the geometry of spacetime. It simply calls something else "s...
This contribution gives an overview of Einstein's work on unified field theory. It characterizes this work from four perspectives, by looking at its conceptual, representational, biographical, and phi...
A major problem facing no-collapse interpretations of quantum mechanics in the tradition of Everett is how to understand the probabilistic axiom of quantum mechanics (the Born rule) in the context of ...
Continuity and logical completeness: an application of sheaf theory and topoi
topos topoi sheaf theory sheaves
2008/4/10
The notion of a continuously variable quantity can be regarded as a generalization of that of a particular (constant) quantity, and the properties of such quantities are then akin to, and derived from...
