Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the unification of scientific theories, the book delves into the historical and contemporary quest for a "theory of everything" in physics. Margaret Morrison challenges the notion that unification and explanation are inherently linked, highlighting that the mechanisms of unification differ from those that clarify phenomena. She emphasizes the role of mathematical structures in this complex process, arguing that theory unification is multifaceted and resists a singular, overarching explanation.
