Book excerpt: Le philosophe et algébriste britannique Alfred North Whitehead (1861–1947) est une figure marquante, quoique peu connue en Europe francophone, de la pensée du XXe siècle. Le principe de relativité (1922) constitue probablement le livre le plus controversé et le moins étudié de Whitehead. Développant plus avant les conséquences épistémologiques de la « méthode de l'abstraction extensive » introduite dans ses Principes de la connaissance naturelle (1919/1925), il y propose une théorie de la relativité générale aussi — si pas plus — puissante (i.e., cohérente et applicable) que celle d'Einstein (1914) mais fondée sur une philosophie strictement processuelle qui lui permet de remédier aux tendances idéaliste et substantialiste de la relativité einsteinienne « orthodoxe ».

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage, structuré en 10 grands chapitres, présente les fondements et les applications de la théorie de la relativité : extension du principe newtonien de relativité à la lumière, cinématique relativiste, dynamique et énergétique einsteiniennes, lien avec l'électromagnétisme, physique de la relativité générale et cosmologie. Ce manuel est présenté sous forme de leçons structurées, progressives, quasi autonomes, et illustrées par de multiples exemples et par plus de 150 exercices et problèmes résolus. Il s'adresse principalement aux étudiants en Licence de physique. Cependant, par sa présentation didactique et l'accent mis sur le développement historique des idées en physique, il intéressera également les candidats aux concours du CAPES et de l'agrégation. Cette troisième édition, actualisée à la lumière des dernières découvertes et avancées (boson de Higgs, mission européenne Planck), est complétée par deux nouvelles annexes sur les tenseurs et sur le nouveau système d'unités qui sera adopté en 2018.
Download or read book After Whitehead written by Michel Weber and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2013-05-02 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Reschers Process Metaphysics (1996) was published, it was widely acclaimed as a major step towards the academic recognition of a mode of thought that has otherwise been confined within sharp scholarly boundaries. Of course it is not an easy book: despite its stylistic clarity, it remains the complex outcome of a lifes work in most areas of philosophy. The goal of the present volume is to systematically unfold the vices and virtues of Process Metaphysics, and thereby to specify the contemporary state of affairs in process thought. To do so, the editor has gathered one focused contribution per chapter, each paper addressing specifically and explicitly its assigned chapter and seeking to promote a dialogue with Rescher. In addition, the volume features Reschers replies to the papers.
Download or read book Einstein vs Bergson written by Alessandra Campo and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-11-08 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together papers from a conference that took place in the city of L'Aquila, 4–6 April 2019, to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the earthquake that struck on 6 April 2009. Philosophers and scientists from diverse fields of research debated the problem that, on 6 April 1922, divided Einstein and Bergson: the nature of time. For Einstein, scientific time is the only time that matters and the only time we can rely on. Bergson, however, believes that scientific time is derived by abstraction, even in the sense of extraction, from a more fundamental time. The plurality of times envisaged by the theory of Relativity does not, for him, contradict the philosophical intuition of the existence of a single time. But how do things stand today? What can we say about the relationship between the quantitative and qualitative dimensions of time in the light of contemporary science? What do quantum mechanics, biology and neuroscience teach us about the nature of time? The essays collected here take up the question that pitted Einstein against Bergson, science against philosophy, in an attempt to reverse the outcome of their monologue in two voices, with a multilogue in several voices.

Download or read book Politics of Nature written by Bruno Latour and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major work by one of the more innovative thinkers of our time, Politics of Nature does nothing less than establish the conceptual context for political ecology—transplanting the terms of ecology into more fertile philosophical soil than its proponents have thus far envisioned. Bruno Latour announces his project dramatically: “Political ecology has nothing whatsoever to do with nature, this jumble of Greek philosophy, French Cartesianism and American parks.” Nature, he asserts, far from being an obvious domain of reality, is a way of assembling political order without due process. Thus, his book proposes an end to the old dichotomy between nature and society—and the constitution, in its place, of a collective, a community incorporating humans and nonhumans and building on the experiences of the sciences as they are actually practiced. In a critique of the distinction between fact and value, Latour suggests a redescription of the type of political philosophy implicated in such a “commonsense” division—which here reveals itself as distinctly uncommonsensical and in fact fatal to democracy and to a healthy development of the sciences. Moving beyond the modernist institutions of “mononaturalism” and “multiculturalism,” Latour develops the idea of “multinaturalism,” a complex collectivity determined not by outside experts claiming absolute reason but by “diplomats” who are flexible and open to experimentation.
Download or read book Hermeneutics and Science written by Márta Fehér and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hermeneutics was elaborated as a specific art of understanding in humanities. The discovered paradigmatic, historical characteristics of scientific knowledge, and the role of rhetoric, interpretation and contextuality enabled us to use similar arguments in natural sciences too. In this way a new research field, the hermeneutics of science emerged based upon the works of Husserl, Merleau-Ponty, Heidegger and Gadamer. A dialogue between philosophers and scientists begins in this volume on hermeneutic approaches to physics, biology, ethology, mathematics and cognitive science. Scientific principles, methodologies, discourse, language, and metaphors are analyzed, as well as the role of the lay public and the legitimation of science. Different hermeneutical-phenomenological approaches to perception, experiments, methods, discovery and justification and the genesis of science are presented. Hermeneutics shed a new light on the incommensurability of paradigms, the possibility of translation and the historical understanding of science.
