Postmodern science in the historical context of postmodern world, 1998.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/82908048

The study includes three parts. The introductory chapter discusses the controversial legitimacy of the notion of postmodern science, postmodern physics, in particular, and defines his argument and approach to the issue. The second chapter offers a case study analysis of the changing philosophical discourse of the Einstein-Bohr debate on foundations of quantum mechanics. He draws the conclusion that postmodern physics can enter legitimately the postmodern agenda to a degree to which the image of relational phenomenon dominates the postmodern path of thought. The third part of the study tests the design with interviews of several distinguished quantum physicists on the subject of Einstein-Bohr debate in order to verify both the idea and the findings of the study. Only the responses of B. Hiley are included with this printing.
