Product Description

This book presents a wide-ranging interdisciplinary study of the evolving concept of laws of Nature. From the magical notions of primitive cultures to the latest ideas about chaos, black holes, inflation, and superstrings the author traces the gradual development of our concept of what laws of Nature are and how we come to know them. The scientific and mathematical topics discussed are of major importance to philosophers and scientists. This book gives them the opportunity to see
these new ideas discussed in a serious but non-technical style within a historical context.
