Physics and Necessity: Rationalist Pursuits From the Cartesian Past to the Quantum Present
Oxford, United Kingdom: Oxford University Press (2014)
Abstract
This book recounts a few ingenious attempts to derive physical theories by reason only, beginning with Descartes' geometric construction of the world, and finishing with recent derivations of quantum mechanics from natural axioms
