Abstract

At bottom, the aim of this book is the formulation and defence of a novel philosophical stance concerning the general relation between successor theories in science. But its method is inductive: almost the entire book is devoted to one detailed case study, the relation between classical mechanics and quantum mechanics. The author, Alisa Bokulich, dwells extensively on the history of quantum mechanics and the philosophical ideas of its founding fathers and also on recent developments in physics. The book has thus become a goldmine of information and original ideas about quantum mechanics and its philosophy, in addition to being a philosophical treatise about the relation between theories.
