Editorial Reviews: Review “The book offers a substantial and stimulating commentary on QFT as an object of philosophical enquiry. . . .The book offers a solid, useful and much needed beginning, and is for the most part clearly written and always clearly presented. I urge anyone with an interest in the subject to acquire it.” –Philosophy of Science From the Back Cover The contributors approach QFT from a variety of standpoints. Part I offers two different interpretations of the value of studying the foundations of QFT as an area of separate metaphysical research. Parts II and III consider the metaphysical and methodological implications of such issues as the problem of the status of virtual particles; the technique of renormalization; and the role of covariance principles. Part IV examines the mathematical foundations of QFT. About the Author Harvey R. Brown is at University of Oxford. Rom Harre is at Linacre College, Oxford. Read more
