The Handbook of Philosophy of Physics is part of the multi-volume series Handbook of Philosophy of Science under the general editorship of Dov Gabbay, Paul Thagard, and John Woods.  As reflected in the titles of volumes in the series, the philosophy of science has become increasingly specialized into a number of sub-fields (philosophy of biology, philosophy of psychology and the cognitive sciences, philosophy of economics, etc.).  Our volume focuses on foundations issue that arise from the fundamental theories of modern physics.                                         - Definitive discussions of the philosophical implications of modern physics   - Masterly expositions of the fundamental theories of modern physics  - Covers all three main pillars of modern physics: relativity theory, quantum theory, and thermal physics  - Covers the new sciences that have grown from these theories: for example, cosmology from relativity theory; and quantum information and quantum computing, from quantum theory - Contains special Chapters that address crucial topics that arise in several different theories, such as symmetry and determinism  - Written by very distinguished theoretical physicists, including a Nobel Laureate, as well as by philosophers
