What Is and Why Do We Need Philosophy of Physics? — •Wolfgang Pietsch — Munich Center for Technology in Society, TU München, Germany
Philosophy of physics is a small but thriving research field situated at the intersection between the natural sciences and the humanities. However, what exactly distinguishes philosophy of physics from physics is rarely made explicit in much depth. I provide a detailed analysis in the form of a number of theses, delineating both the nature of the questions asked in philosophy of physics and the methodology with which they are addressed. This presentation results from discussions and joint work with Meinard Kuhlmann.
