  • String Theory and the Real World
    Gordon Kane
    This book attempts to explain why ’string theory’ may provide the comprehensive underlying theory that describes and explains our world. It is an enthusiastic view of how compactified string/M-theories (plus data that may be reachable) seem to have the possibilities of leading to a comprehensive underlying theory of particle physics and cosmology, perhaps soon. We are living in...

  • Nature and the Artificial
    Edward Engelmann
    This book explores the artificial by examining transformations in the Aristotelian metaphysical understanding of the relationship between nature and techne, which leads to the “operative imperative” in early modernity. With this a reversal takes place, whereby instead of nature being model for techne as it is for Aristotle and Aquinas, techne becomes the model for nature. ...

    Alexandre Koyre
    During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries a radical change occurred in the patterns and framework of European thought. In the wake of Copernican theory and discoveries through the telescope, the notion of an ordered cosmos of 'fixed stars' gave way to that of a universe infinite in both time and space-with significant and far-reaching consequences for human thought.
