The Theoretical Practices of Physics: Philosophical Essays
Hughes, R. I. G. (University of South Carolina)
R. I. G. Hughes explores the theoretical practices that scientists use in doing physics. He offers a critical examination of accounts that notable physicists give of their practices, and investigates the roles of laws, disunities, models and representation, computer simulation, and explanation, in physics as it has been practised.
