{"product_id":"emergence-and-reduction-in-physics-patricia-palacios-9781108814065","title":"Emergence and Reduction in Physics","description":"This Element offers an overview of some of the most important debates in philosophy and physics around the topics of emergence and reduction and proposes a compatibilist view of emergence and reduction. In particular, it suggests that specific notions of emergence, which the author calls 'few-many emergence' and 'coarse-grained emergence', are compatible with 'intertheoretic reduction'. Some further issues that will be addressed concern the comparison between parts-whole emergence and few-many emergence, the emergence of effective (-field) theories, the use of infinite limits, the notion of intertheoretic reduction and the explanation of universal and cooperative behavior. Although the focus will be principally on classical phase transitions and other examples from condensed matter physics, the main aim is to draw some general conclusions on the topics of emergence and reduction that can help us understand a variety of case-studies ranging from high-energy physics to astrophysics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patricia Palacios\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108814069\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108814065\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 10\/06\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.19d","brand":"Patricia Palacios","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44070965641471,"sku":"9781108814065","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_16526cdd-4e7b-4433-89f6-24899b2fda10.jpg?v=1685433368","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/emergence-and-reduction-in-physics-patricia-palacios-9781108814065","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
