Erwin Schrodinger's World View : The Dynamics of Knowledge and Reality Hardback
Edited by Johann Gotschl
Part of the Theory and Decision Library A: series
Hardback
Description
Erwin Schroedinger has been described as one of the greatest figures of theoretical physics, but there is another side to the man: not only did his work revolutionize physics, it also radically changed the foundations of our modern world-view, modern biology, philosophy of science, philosophy of the mind, and epistemology.
This book explores the lesser-known aspects of Schroedinger's thought, revealing the physicist as a philosopher and polymath whose ideas anticipated the current merging of the natural and the social sciences and the humanities. 13 renowned scientists and philosophers have contributed to the volume.
Part I reveals the philosophical importance of Schroedinger's work as a physicist.
Part II examines his theory of life and of the self-organization of matter.
Part III shows how Schroedinger's ideas have influenced contemporary philosophy of nature and our modern view of the world, drawing a picture of the ongoing synthesis of nature and culture.
