Book Synopsis Physics and Whitehead by : Timothy E. Eastman
Download or read book Physics and Whitehead written by Timothy E. Eastman. This book was released on 2012-02-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featuring discussions and dialogue by prominent scientists and philosophers, this book explores the rich interface of contemporary physics and Whitehead-inspired process thought. The contributors share the conviction that quantum physics not only corroborates many of Whitehead's philosophical theses, but is also illuminated by them. Thus, though differing in perspective or emphasis, the contributions by Geoffrey Chew, David Finkelstein, Henry Stapp and other scientists conceptually dovetail with those of Philip Clayton, Jorge Nobo, Yutaka Tanaka and other process philosophers.

Book Synopsis Quantum Mechanics and the Philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead by : Michael Epperson
Download or read book Quantum Mechanics and the Philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead written by Michael Epperson. This book was released on 2018-09-18. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Process and Reality and other works, Alfred North Whitehead struggled to come to terms with the impact the new science of quantum mechanics would have on metaphysics. This ambitious book is the first extended analysis of the intricate relationships between relativity theory, quantum mechanics, and Whitehead's cosmology. Michael Epperson illuminates the intersection of science and philosophy in Whitehead's work-and details Whitehead's attempts to fashion an ontology coherent with quantum anomalies. Including a nonspecialist introduction to quantum mechanics, Epperson adds an essential new dimension to our understanding of Whitehead-and of the constantly enriching encounter between science and philosophy in our century.

Book Synopsis Event Universe by : Leemon B. McHenry
Download or read book Event Universe written by Leemon B. McHenry. This book was released on 2015-07-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leemon McHenry argues that Whitehead's metaphysics provides a better basis for achieving a unification of physical theory than a traditional substance metaphysics. He investigates the influence of Maxwell's electromagnetic field, Einstein's theory of relativity and quantum mechanics on the development of the ontology of events and compares Whitehead's theory to his contemporaries, C. D. Broad and Bertrand Russell, as well as W. V. Quine. In this way, McHenry defends the naturalised and speculative approach to metaphysics as opposed to analytical and linguistic methods that arose in the 20th century.
