Physics, Structure, and Reality
Oxford: Oxford University Press (2021)
Abstract
Jill North offers answers to questions at the heart of the project of interpreting physics. How do we figure out the nature of the world from a mathematically formulated theory? What do we infer about the world when a physical theory can be mathematically formulated in different ways? The notion of structure is crucial to North's answers.Author's Profile
