Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Every formula was once an argument.Physics looks as if it came from nowhere. Equations, detectors, silicon chips, double-blind data analysis: the discipline appears to walk into the world fully armed, like a technological Athena who needed no philosopher for a father. And yet every time a ph…ysicist writes an equation, invokes a symmetry, calls a quantity "real," he or she is walking inside a cathedral. The cathedral was built by philosophers.The Philosophy of Physics traces, theme by theme, the silent assumptions on which the science of nature stands. Each of its nine chapters takes one great question --- What is real? Why does mathematics work? What is a cause? What is space, what is time? What is method? Who is the observer? Can we reduce the many to the one? Why does symmetry feel beautiful? Where does our knowledge end? --- and follows it from Plato to the latest debates in the foundations of quantum theory.The author writes as a Catholic intellectual who insists on staying objective: equidistant between scientific reason and the perspective of faith, never claiming that one is superior to the other. Believers and sceptics will both find themselves taken seriously. Three voices recur as quiet companions across the chapters: Fulton J. Sheen for the patient observation that empiricism is itself a metaphysical thesis; Thomas Aquinas for the analogy of being and the structure of secondary causes; and G. K. Chesterton for the paradox that clarifies. The didactic warmth owes a debt to Giovannino Guareschi at the level of style --- concrete images, plain speech --- not of setting.This is the first of two twin volumes. Its companion, The Physics of Philosophy, walks the same road in the opposite direction --- from the laboratory back to the ideas it has unsettled or confirmed. The two books echo one another; they can be read in any order.What you will find insideA thematic, not biographical, survey of the philosophical commitments hidden in modern physics.Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas, Galileo, Descartes, Newton, Leibniz, Hume, Kant, Mach, Poincare, Bohr, Heisenberg, Popper, Kuhn, Feyerabend, Sheen, Chesterton, Ortega y Gasset, Gomez Davila --- each called to the witness stand when the argument needs them.Short, well-built chapters with timelines, concept maps, and "key points" boxes; full bibliography; name index and subject index.An honest equidistance: the book never claims that physics displaces theology, nor that theology displaces physics.For readers who suspect that the most interesting question in physics is the one the textbook does not ask.For students who want a serious philosophical companion to their physics curriculum without losing the literary pleasure of reading.For believers and sceptics alike who want a writer they can trust to be fair to both sides.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. La presente edizione accosta, in testo inglese e traduzione italiana a fronte, due opere-cardine dell'apologetica chestertoniana: Ortodossia (1908) e L'Uomo Eterno (1925). Il primo libro racconta, in prima persona, la via del convincimento - come una mente ottenne la propria ortodossia; il s…econdo la fonda storicamente, guardando l'uomo da fuori come una creatura unica e Cristo da fuori come un fatto unico della storia.Insieme formano il corpo dottrinale del pensiero cristiano di Chesterton: si leggono bene separatamente, si leggono meglio uno accanto all'altro. L'apparato critico si muove su tre piani.Il primo e quello delle concordanze tomistiche. Benche Chesterton non citi quasi mai alla lettera la Summa Theologiae, si riconobbe sempre discepolo di san Tommaso - sul quale scrisse, nel 1933, il celebre The Dumb Ox. Le note segnalano il passo della Summa che illumina, precisa o anticipa l'argomento chestertoniano.Il secondo piano e quello della continuita narrativa tra il Chesterton saggista e il Chesterton novelliere. Molti temi esposti in forma argomentativa in queste opere ricompaiono nei racconti di Padre Brown in forma drammatica: il paradosso del sano come straniero, la difesa del senso comune, l'idea che il crimine sia una forma di eresia pratica. I rinvii sono dati per titolo del racconto e raccolta.Il terzo piano e quello del contesto intellettuale. Le note riportano riferimenti a importanti autori sia contemporanei che precedenti o successivi a Chesterton, come Agostino, Newman, Tolkien, Dante, Lewis, Gomez d'Avila, Sayers, Nietzsche, Ortega y Gasset, Belloc, per comunicare il legame che unisce le due opere trattate in questo libro con tutta la storia della filosofia cristiana e giustapporle alle idee di eminenti pensatori non cristiani.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Sometimes the laboratory teaches the philosopher.Philosophy is not embarrassed by physics. It is, however, periodically reshaped by it. When Newton wrote down the Principia, when Darwin published the Origin, when Clausius defined entropy, when Einstein redrew simultaneity, when Bohr and Heis…enberg quarrelled with Einstein over the meaning of the quantum theory --- a piece of furniture in the philosopher's house moved. Sometimes a small piece. Sometimes the floor.The Physics of Philosophy traces, theme by theme, the philosophical reshaping that the sciences of nature have provoked. Newton's mechanics gave Kant his categories; thermodynamics gave Bergson his quarrel with the clock; relativity gave Ortega's perspectivism a mathematical spine; quantum mechanics gave Bohr his complementarity and the idea that an observer cannot be safely edited out; cosmology forced "creation" out of theology and into the seminar room without resolving anything; information theory asked whether bits, not atoms, are the basement of the world.The author writes as a Catholic intellectual who insists on staying objective: equidistant between scientific reason and the perspective of faith, never claiming that one is superior to the other. Believers and sceptics will both find themselves taken seriously. Three voices recur as quiet companions across the chapters: Fulton J. Sheen for the patient observation that empiricism is itself a metaphysical thesis; Thomas Aquinas for the analogy of being and the structure of secondary causes; and G. K. Chesterton for the paradox that clarifies. The didactic warmth owes a debt to Giovannino Guareschi at the level of style --- concrete images, plain speech --- not of setting. Lemaitre's caution --- "do not confuse the Big Bang with the philosophical or theological notion of creation" --- is the spirit of the whole book.This is the second of two twin volumes; the first, The Philosophy of Physics, walks the same road in the opposite direction --- from the philosophical assumptions hidden in physics back to physics. The two books echo one another; they can be read in either order.Inside the bookThe Newtonian metaphysics and Kant's Copernican revolution.The Darwinian turn: from natural theology to the sciences of mind, with the design argument and its critics each given full voice.The arrow of time, from Clausius to the block universe and back.The end of physical absolutes (special and general relativity), with a careful note that what is relativised is the geometry of simultaneity, not morality.Quantum epistemology and what it means for "the observer."Complexity, mind, and the hard problem of consciousness.Cosmology and creation, treated with equidistance and Lemaitre's warning kept in view.Information as ontology and the digital-physics conjecture.The ethics of the sciences and the limits of expert knowledge.For readers who want philosophy that has done its physics homework.For students in either field who want to see how their two worlds touch.For believers and sceptics alike who want a writer they can trust to be fair to both sides.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This edition brings together two central works of Chestertonian apologetics: Orthodoxy (1908) and The Everlasting Man (1925). The first book narrates, in the first person, the way of conviction - "how one mind got its orthodoxy"; the second grounds it historically, looking at man from outsid…e as a unique creature and at Christ from outside as a unique fact of history.Each chapter opens with an evocative illustration in the style of early twentieth-century English art. At the close of each chapter there is a conceptual map. At the end of both works there are annotated indexes of persons and places cited.The critical apparatus includes Thomistic concordances, cross-references to the Father Brown stories, and rich intellectual context (Darwin, Nietzsche, Newman, Tolkien, Dante, Guardini, and others). This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
