Recenzii
Identity in Physics is a very significant contribution to debate about, well, identity in physics, but it deserves attention from general philosophers of science and metaphysicians too.
Steven French and Décio Krause have written what bids fair to be, for years to come, the definitive philosophical treatment of the problem of the individuality of elementary particles in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory.
...complex, multifaceted and marvellous book. Identity in Physics critically scrutinizes metaphysical issues implicated in claccical and quantum physics, making deft use of the history of theoretical developments, and ultimately suggesting a way of rethinking the formal foundations of quantum physics...It is very rare to see the metaphysics of science engaged so carefully, conscientiously and even-handedly.
This is a well written book that clearly lays out many of the important views of the field. It is engaging and interesting, and, without doubt, will be widely read by students and practitioners of the field.
Steven French and Decio Krause's book in not just a long overdue addition to the existing literature: it is the most thorough and authoritative monograph ever written on the subject, and is bound to shape any future philosophical debate on identity in physics.
The debate on the individuality of particles in classical and quantum physics is one of the most fascinating ongoing debates in philosophy of physics...Steven French and Decio Krause's book is not just a long overdue addition to the existing literature: it is the most thorough and authoritative monograph ever written on the subject, and is bound to shape any future philosophical debate on identity in physics...this monograph is a must for anyone interested to tackle these deep metaphysical issues and their far-reaching implications for the world we live in.
