About this item
How the Laws of Physics Lie
In this sequence of philosophical essays about natural science, the author argues that fundamental explanatory laws, the deepest and most admired successes of modern physics, do not in fact describe regularities that exist in nature. Cartwright draws from many real-life examples to propound a novel distinction: that theoretical entities, and the complex and localized laws that describe them, can be interpreted realistically, but the simple unifying laws of basic theory cannot. "An important and challenging book."-- International Studies in Philosophy Nancy Cartwright is Professor Philosophy, London School of Economics.
