Lawrence Sklar, one of the preeminent philosophers of physics, offers a comprehensive, nontechnical introduction to the theory and to historical attempts to understand its foundational elements. The book emphasizes the interaction of scientific and philosophical modes of reasoning. In this way, it will interest philosophers of science and physicists and chemists concerned with philosophical questions; it will also be read by general readers interested in the foundations of modern science.
