{"product_id":"a-philosophical-approach-to-quantum-hans-christian-ttinger-9781108415118","title":"A Philosophical Approach to Quantum Field Theory","description":"This text presents an intuitive and robust mathematical image of fundamental particle physics based on a novel approach to quantum field theory, which is guided by four carefully motivated metaphysical postulates. In particular, the book explores a dissipative approach to quantum field theory, which is illustrated for scalar field theory and quantum electrodynamics, and proposes an attractive explanation of the Planck scale in quantum gravity. Offering a radically new perspective on this topic, the book focuses on the conceptual foundations of quantum field theory and ontological questions. It also suggests a new stochastic simulation technique in quantum field theory which is complementary to existing ones. Encouraging rigor in a field containing many mathematical subtleties and pitfalls this text is a helpful companion for students of physics and philosophers interested in quantum field theory, and it allows readers to gain an intuitive rather than a formal understanding.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hans Christian ﾖttinger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108415113\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108415118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/11\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.27h x 7.26w x 0.77d","brand":"Hans Christian ﾖttinger","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43947765825791,"sku":"9781108415118","price":57.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ba6feeab-13aa-4ed7-a520-3fd893cf6cde.jpg?v=1681520666","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-philosophical-approach-to-quantum-hans-christian-ttinger-9781108415118","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
