About The Book
Objectivity, Invariance, and Convention by Michael L. G. Redhead offers a thought-provoking analysis of symmetry in modern physics, with detailed case studies from both relativity theory and quantum mechanics. Redhead challenges the traditional view that physical sciences are solely dependent on convention and argues that these sciences can still yield objective representations of reality.
Through exploring the concepts of objectivity, invariance, and convention, the book provides a fresh perspective on how scientific theories and models can be used to represent the physical world, despite being rooted in theoretical frameworks and conventions. This scholarly work is aimed at readers with a background in physics or philosophy, as it delves deeply into the philosophical implications of scientific practice, particularly in understanding symmetry in the context of modern physics.
Ideal for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the philosophy of science, this book offers valuable insights into the relationship between physical theories and the nature of reality.
