Description

Explore the fundamental questions of existence with Laws of Nature, a scholarly collection from Oxford University Press. This volume brings together twelve new essays from an international team of leading philosophers to examine the origins and definitions of natural laws. Readers will investigate how much the concept of natural law owes to theology and metaphysics, and whether these laws allow for contingency or if exceptions exist. The text looks at whether lawhood can be analyzed through a reductive approach or if it remains a primitive concept. By examining the assumptions that have guided this debate since the seventeenth century, this book provides a deep look into the core of scientific and philosophical thought. It is an essential resource for those studying the science, nature, and mathematics of how the world functions.
