  • Janus-Faced Probability
    Paolo Rocchi
    The problem of probability interpretation was long overlooked before exploding in the 20th century, when the frequentist and subjectivist schools formalized two conflicting conceptions of probability. Beyond the radical followers of the two schools, a circle of pluralist thinkers tends to reconcile the opposing concepts. The author uses two theorems in order to prove that the v...

  • Astronomy and Big Data
    Kieran Jay Edwards / Mohamed Medhat Gaber
    With the onset of massive cosmological data collection through media such as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), galaxy classification has been accomplished for the most part with the help of citizen science communities like Galaxy Zoo. Seeking the wisdom of the crowd for such Big Data processing has proved extremely beneficial. However, an analysis of one of the Galaxy Zoo mo...

  • The Concept of Reduction
    Raphael van Riel
    This volume investigates the notion of reduction. Building on the idea that philosophers employ the term ’reduction’ to reconcile diversity and directionality with unity, without relying on elimination, the book offers a powerful explication of an 'ontological', notion of reduction the extension of which is (primarily) formed by properties, kinds, individuals, or processes. It ...

  • Educational Research
    This collection discusses and illustrates how educational research is affected by the economic, institutional and physical contingencies of its time, and in our time even increasingly is driven by them. It is argued that the antidote to this is, however, not to aspire to ’thought itself’, but instead to do justice to its own rootedness in the ’material’, including textuality. F...

  • Probing Correlated Quantum Many-Body Systems at the Single-Particle Level
    Manuel Endres
    How much knowledge can we gain about a physical system and to what degree can we control it? In quantum optical systems, such as ion traps or neutral atoms in cavities, single particles and their correlations can now be probed in a way that is fundamentally limited only by the laws of quantum mechanics. In contrast, quantum many-body systems pose entirely new challenges due to ...
