Erhard Scheibe's Structuralism

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the structuralism of physical theories, this book systematically reviews how empirical imprecision can be integrated into formal reconstructions. It introduces a measure of imprecision for topological comparisons and addresses significant debates in statistical mechanics and the relationship between classical and quantum mechanics. The author advocates for Bourbaki-style structuralism alongside E. Scheibe's reduction theory as effective frameworks for exploring reduction and emergence, providing a critical overview of philosophical positions relevant to contemporary physics challenges.
