Hardcover. Condition: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. Many results of modern physics, such as those from quantum mechanics, present themselves in a probabilistic manner. This raises questions about the meaning of probabilities in physics: Are they objective facts, as objectivists argue, or merely expressions of ignorance or belief, as suggested by Bayesians? Additionally, how are these probabilistic hypotheses validated by empirical evidence, and what implications do they have for our understanding of the world? This volume offers a philosophical examination of probabilities across various physical theories and models, aiming to clarify probabilistic statements and establish a coherent epistemology and metaphysics of probabilities. The essays delve into statistical physics, probabilistic modeling, and quantum mechanics, evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of objectivist and subjectivist perspectives. Key discussions include Bayesian and Humean interpretations of probabilities and the nuances of Boltzmann's typicality approach. Contributions on quantum mechanics address quantum correlations, the justification of the Born Rule, and the role of probabilities in quantum field theory. The collection also explores foundational issues in physics, including the Reversibility Paradox, entropy, and the ontology of quantum mechanics, as well as Humean supervenience and the determinism of the physical world.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This volume defends a novel approach to the philosophy of physics: it is the first book devoted to a comparative study of probability, causality, and propensity, and their various interrelations, within the context of contemporary physics -- particularly quantum and statistical physics. The philosophical debates and distinctions are firmly grounded upon examples from actual physics, thus exemplifying a robustly empiricist approach. The essays, by both prominent scholars in the field and promising young researchers, constitute a pioneer effort in bringing out the connections between probabilistic, causal and dispositional aspects of the quantum domain.The book will appeal to specialists in philosophy and foundations of physics, philosophy of science in general, metaphysics, ontology of physics theories, and philosophy of probability.…

Hardback. Condition: New. Many results of modern physics--those of quantum mechanics, for instance--come in a probabilistic guise. But what do probabilistic statements in physics mean? Are probabilities matters of objective fact and part of the furniture of the world, as objectivists think? Or do they only express ignorance or belief, as Bayesians suggest? And how are probabilistic hypotheses justified and supported by empirical evidence? Finally, what does the probabilistic nature of physics imply for our understanding of the world?This volume is the first to provide a philosophical appraisal of probabilities in all of physics. Its main aim is to make sense of probabilistic statements as they occur in the various physical theories and models and to provide a plausible epistemology and metaphysics of probabilities. The essays collected here consider statistical physics, probabilistic modelling, and quantum mechanics, and critically assess the merits and disadvantages of objectivist and subjectivist views of probabilities in these fields. In particular, the Bayesian and Humean views of probabilities and the varieties of Boltzmann's typicality approach are examined. The contributions on quantum mechanics discuss the special character of quantum correlations, the justification of the famous Born Rule, and the role of probabilities in a quantum field theoretic framework. Finally, the connections between probabilities and foundational issues in physics are explored. The Reversibility Paradox, the notion of entropy, and the ontology of quantum mechanics are discussed. Other essays consider Humean supervenience and the question whether the physical world is deterministic.…
