Physical Systems

Beschreibung

Based on the concept of a physical system, this book offers a new philosophical interpretation of classical mechanics and the Special Theory of Relativity. According to Belkind’s view the role of physical theory is to describe the motions of the parts of a physical system in relation to the motions of the whole. This approach provides a new perspective into the foundations of physical theory, where motions of parts and wholes of physical systems are taken to be fundamental, prior to spacetime, material properties and laws of motion. He defends this claim with a constructive project, deriving basic aspects of classical theories from the motions of parts and wholes. This exciting project will challenge readers to reevaluate how they understand the structure of the physical world in which we live.

Physical Systems offers a new philosophical framework for thinking about and analyzing the foundations of physical theory Offers a new basis for understanding physical reality, and introduces its own fresh approach for solving epistemological and metaphysical problems in the philosophy of physics The monograph is distinct in that it attempts to provide a philosophical foundation for the most basic physical concepts, while ushering new insights regarding these concepts
