Philosophy of Mathematical Physics
A sound philosophy of mathematical physics balances a philosophy of mathematics with a philosophy of physics, sharpening the general applicability problem of mathematics by also taking care of: (i) the early modern `mathematization of the world picture'; (ii) the theory-laden character of the targets of mathematical models of modern physics; and (iii): Wigner's `unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in the natural sciences'. Guided by a historical survey, I propose that theories of mathematical physics are meaning-constitutive a priori constructions, conventional but far from arbitrary and best described as hypothetical. Their models subsequently mediate between theory and nature, that is, between the a priori and the a posteriori. Models mediate by playing the role of Wittgensteinian ian yardsticks or objects of comparison to be held against nature as represented by data models, where the comparison is made via surrogative inference. This balancing act compromises realism.

Naar alle onwaarschijnlijkheid
Toeval in de wetenschap en filosofieE-bookWat is toeval? Bestaat het? Hoe moeten we toeval interpreteren? Is alles logisch te verklaren, of is er meer tussen hemel en aarde? In dit boek kijken we naar toevallige ontmoetingen, ongelukken, de vermeende sleutel tot de ware identiteit van Shakespeare, de perfecte afstemming van de kosmos die leven mogelijk maakt, de grondslagen van de kwantummechanica en de richting van de tijd, Darwins evolutietheorie, de filosofie van de vrije wil, en ten slotte de vraag of Jezus een toevallige verschijning of een noodzakelijk fenomeen was. In zijn nieuwste boek geeft mathematisch fysicus Klaas Landsman zowel een verhelderende inleiding als een ferme visie op al deze onderwerpen, die iedereen met belangstelling voor wetenschap en levensbeschouwing zal raken en op nieuwe gedachten zal brengen. Klaas Landsman (1963) is hoogleraar mathematische fysica aan de Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen en was eerder verbonden aan de universiteiten van Amsterdam, Cambridge en Hamburg. Over Requiem voor Newton (2005): 'Een groots drama der denkbeelden, dat mij vanaf bladzijde 1 aan de haren naar bladzijde 340 heeft meegesleept zonder een moment los te laten.'F.A.
