Publisher's Synopsis
Paradoxical Philosophy: A Sequel to The Unseen Universe is a book written by Balfour Stewart, a renowned physicist and mathematician. The book explores the concept of paradoxes in philosophy and how they relate to the physical world. It is a continuation of the author's previous work, The Unseen Universe, which delved into the relationship between science and religion.In Paradoxical Philosophy, Stewart examines various paradoxes in philosophy, such as the paradox of free will and determinism, the paradox of the infinite and the finite, and the paradox of identity. He also discusses the paradoxes that arise in the study of physics, such as the wave-particle duality and the twin paradox.The author argues that paradoxes are not just intellectual puzzles, but rather they reveal deep truths about the nature of reality. He suggests that the resolution of paradoxes requires a shift in perspective or a redefinition of terms, rather than a simple solution.The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both academics and general readers interested in philosophy and physics. It includes numerous examples and illustrations to help readers understand complex concepts.Overall, Paradoxical Philosophy: A Sequel to The Unseen Universe is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the nature of paradoxes and their significance in philosophy and science.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
