Huw Price, Richard Corry

Causation, Physics, and the Constitution of Reality Russell's Republic Revisited

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The difference between cause and effect seems obvious and crucial in ordinary life, yet missing from modern physics. Almost a century ago, Bertrand Russell called the law of causality 'a relic of a bygone age'. In this important collection 13 leading scholars revisit Russell's revolutionary conclusion, discussing one of the most significant and puzzling issues in contemporary thought.
