A New Foundation of Physical Theories

Written in the tradition of G. Ludwig's groundbreaking works, this book aims to clarify and formulate more precisely the fundamental ideas of physical theories. By introducing a basic descriptive language of simple form, in which it is possible to formulate recorded facts, ambiguities of physical theories are avoided as much as possible. In this approach the field of physics that should be described by a theory is determined by basic concepts only, i.e. concepts that can be explained without a theory. In this context, the authors introduce a new concept of idealization and review the process of discovering new concepts. They believe that, when the theories are formulated within an axiomatic basis, solutions can be found to many difficult problems such as the interpretation of physical theories, the relations between theories as well as the introduction of physical concepts. The book addresses both physicists and philosophers of science and should encourage the reader to contribute to the understanding of the lasting core of physical knowledge about the real structures of the world.

  • "In dieser stark verbesserten und erweiterten Neuauflage seines bekannten Buches bietet der Verfasser vertiefte, neue Einsichten in die Strukturen physikalischer Theorien. Er erklärt den Zusammenhang zwischen einer mathematischen Theorie und ihrer Anwendung auf Experimente. Um den physikalischen Inhalt der in der mathematischen Theorie als Axiome formulierten Naturgesetze zu erkennen, wird eine neue Form einer physikalischen Theorie vorgeschlagen, die "einfache axiomatische Basis", und die Naturgesetze werden nach Begriffsnormen, Handlungsnormen und empirischen Gesetzen klassifiziert. Ein besonderes Ziel dieses Buches ist es, eine bessere Klärung von Begriffen wie "wirklich" und "möglich", angewandt auf physikalische Prozesse, zu erreichen. Der Autor richtet sich an Dozenten und Studenten der Physik und Mathematik sowie an Wissenschaftstheore- tiker."
