Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2005; US$ 179.00The book is concerned with the laws of nature and in particular with the laws of physics.

Second, what we call a "law of nature" is studied by comparing this concept with invariance principles, causality principles, teleological principles and means of predicting future events. Finally, on the basis of these investigations the authors treat the ambitious and intricate third question, why the laws of nature hold. Are there rational reasons for this largely unexplained phenomenon? This book addresses students as well as researchers. It will be an excellent... more...
