About this product

Product Information

This is the first book-length philosophical analysis of quantum field theory, and the first in which the philosophies of space-time, quantum mechanics and interacting systems are addressed in a unified framework. The conceptual structure of quantum field theory is articulated in common terms, and compared to traditional philosophical categories.
