The Philosophy of Vacuum

This book deals with a very important subject - the philosophy of physics is currently very popular among philosophers of science and the vacuum in particular is emerging as the central structure of modern physics. The book's most notable feature is the inclusion of a hitherto untranslated paper by Albert Einstein, but the other contributors are very distinguished, and they include Sir Roger Penrose, author of The Emperor's New Mind. The collection also has some interdisciplinary appeal - it will interest be of interest to philosophers working in metaphysics and to physicists and mathematicians, as well as to philosophers of science.
