The Software of the Universe: An Introduction to the History and Philosophy of Laws of Nature (Ashgate New Critical Thinking in Philosophy)

Mauro Dorato

4.9/5 (22129 ratings)

Description:Dorato (U. of Rome) finds the universe to be orderly, defined by laws of nature which are immutable and essential not only to the workings of our world but our understanding of it. However, he also finds little agreement amongst scholars on the historical factors that have taken the concept of law from the prescriptive to the merely descriptive. He begins by describing the origin of the idea of the laws of nature, then examines why these laws are mathematical and reducible, especially in the cases of necessity, causality, symmetry and science, and surveys a variety of approaches to the study of the laws of nature, the advantages and disadvantages of following each, and the applications of this study to disciplines ranging from psychology to law.
