Synopsis
Nature is not only stable and static but also unstable and dynamical ? this has been shown by physics during the last 40 years. Today, instabilities are regarded as productive and creative sources of change, pattern formation, and growth. They constitute the nomological nucleus of self-organization, chaos and complexity, time's arrow and chance. This change in understanding nature has also modified sciences. Physics has traditionally limited its scope to stability. Currently, it is expanding and renewing itself: a late-modern physics is emerging, and discloses rich interdisciplinary perspectives for the future of mathematical sciences.
Synopsis
Dass Natur nicht nur stabil und statisch, sondern auch instabil und dynamisch ist, hat die Physik in den letzten 40 Jahren zeigen k ouml;nnen. Instabilit auml;ten gelten mittlerweile als produktive und kreative Quellen des Werdens und Wachstums. Von Selbstorganisation, Chaos und Komplexit t, Zeitlichkeit und Zufall ist vielfach die Rede. Dieser Wandel im Naturverst auml;ndnis hat R uuml;ckwirkungen auf die Wissenschaften. Traditionell hatte sich die Physik an Stabilit t orientiert. Heutzutage erneuert und erweitert sie sich: Eine nachmoderne Physik der Instabilit ten tritt hervor und zeigt reichhaltige interdisziplin re Perspektiven auf.
Synopsis
The series, founded in 1970, publishes works which either combine studies in the history of philosophy with a systematic approach or bring together systematic studies with reconstructions from the history of philosophy. Monographs are published in English as well as in German.
The founding editors are Erhard Scheibe (editor until 1991), G nther Patzig (until 1999) and Wolfgang Wieland (until 2003). From 1990 to 2007, the series had been co-edited by J rgen Mittelstra , and from 2005 to 2020 by Jens Halfwassen.
Synopsis
The series, founded in 1970, publishes works that combine philosophical-historical studies with a systematic approach or systematic studies with philosophical-historical reconstructions. It accepts monographs both in German and in English.
A condition for inclusion in the series is a positive peer review process. The series is open for open access publications.
Current editors are: Michael Quante (Westf lische Wilhelms-Universit t M nster) and Dominik Perler (Humboldt-Universit t zu Berlin).
