Quantum field theory, however, is a subject that has been discussed mostly by physicists. This is the first book to present quantum field theory in a manner that makes it accessible to philosophers. Because it presents a lucid view of the theory and debates that surround the theory, \u003ci\u003eAn Interpretive Introduction to Quantum Field Theory\u003c\/i\u003e will interest students of physics as well as students of philosophy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Paul Teller presents the basic ideas of quantum field theory in a way that is understandable to readers who are familiar with non-relativistic quantum mechanics. He provides information about the physics of the theory without calculational detail, and he enlightens readers on how to think about the theory physically. Along the way, he dismantles some popular myths and clarifies the novel ways in which quantum field theory is both a theory about fields and about particles. His goal is to raise questions about the philosophical implications of the theory and to offer some tentative interpretive views of his own. This provocative and thoughtful book challenges philosophers to extend their thinking beyond the realm of quantum mechanics and it challenges physicists to consider the philosophical issues that their explorations have encouraged.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Teller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691016275\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691016276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/06\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.16h x 6.00w x 0.58d","brand":"Paul Teller","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120036540671,"sku":"9780691016276","price":53.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2975909c-0589-49bd-85df-d55331c8aadd.jpg?v=1687412223","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-interpretive-introduction-to-quantum-paul-teller-9780691016276","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
