Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this small book, theoretical physicist Gerard 't Hooft (Nobel prize 1999), philosopher Emanuele Severino (Lincei Academician), and theologian Piero Coda (Pontifical Lateran University) confront one another on a topic that lies at the roots of quantum mechanics and at the origin of Western thought: Determinism and Free Will. "God does not play dice" said Einstein, a tenacious determinist. Quantum Mechanics and its clash with General Relativity have reanimated ancient dilemmas about chance and necessity: Is Nature deterministic? Is Man free? The “free-will theorem” by Conway and Kochen, and the deterministic interpretation of quantum mechanics proposed by 't Hooft, revive such philosophical questions in modern Physics. Is Becoming real? Is the Elementary Event a product of the Case? The cyclopean clash between Heraclitus and Parmenides has entered a new episode, as evidenced by the essays in this volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem of determinism arises in all the major areas of philosophy. The first part of this book, first published in 1991, is a critical and historical exposition of the problem and the most important ideas and arguments which have arisen over the many years of debate. The second part considers the various forms of determinism and the implications that they engender.
Download or read book Between Chance and Choice written by Harald Atmanspacher and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2014-06-23 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are choice and free will possible in a world governed by deterministic fundamental equations? What sense would determinism make if many events and processes in the world seemed to be governed by chance? These and many other questions emphasize the fact that chance and choice are two leading actors on stage whenever issues of determinism are under discussion. This volume collects essays by accomplished scientists and philosophers, addressing numerous facets of the concept of determinism. The contributions cover viewpoints from mathematics, physics, cognitive science and social science as well as various branches of philosophy. They offer valuable reading for everyone interested in the interdisciplinary relations between determinism, chance and free will. The desire to foster an interdisciplinary dialogue on determinism, chance and free will was the initial impetus leading to an international workshop on determinism taking place at Ringberg Castle near Lake Tegernsee, south of Munich, in June 2001. Representatives from mathematics, physics, cognitive and social science, and various branches of philosophy convened to discuss numerous aspects of determinism from their disciplinary perspectives. This volume is based on elaborated and refereed manuscripts of their lectures.

Download or read book Determinism is Alive Well written by Giles R. DeMourot and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Determinism Is Alive and Well examines the concept of Determinism in the natural and social sciences, in particular quantum and relativistic physics, and history. It purports to show that determinism has not become an obsolete concept, but remains an essential general scientific principle. The author attempts to develop the modern concept of determinism through tentative theories such as quantum logic, a theory of the jump from the quantum to the classic level of matter and the Systemic Information Effect (SIE), and discusses holism and reductionism. It also examines the applicability of determinism and reductionism in the social sciences. Giles R. DeMourot holds a Doctorate in Law (JD), an MBA, a B.Sc. in Pharmacology and a BA in Classical Arabic, all from US Universities. Over the years he has served in the US Government in various capacities, both in the US and overseas. He then joined the private sector, working mainly in Europe including the UK. He now resides in France.
Download or read book From Physics to Philosophy written by Jeremy Butterfield and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-12-28 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays by leading philosophers of physics was first published in 2000, and offers philosophical perspectives on two of the central elements of modern physics, quantum theory and relativity. The topics examined include the notorious 'measurement problem' of quantum theory and the attempts to solve it by attributing extra values to physical quantities, the mysterious non-locality of quantum theory, the curious properties of spatial localization in relativistic quantum theories, and the problem of time in the search for a theory of quantum gravity. Together the essays represent some of the last decade's research in philosophy of physics, particularly interestingly within the philosophy of quantum theory.
