| Abstract
|
:
|
"Quantum field theory is a powerful language for the description of the subatomic constituents of the physical world and the laws and principles that govern them. This book contains up-to-date in-depth analyses, by a group of eminent physicists and philosophers of science, of our present understanding of its conceptual foundations, of the reasons why this understanding has to be revised so that the theory can go further, and of possible directions in which revisions may be promising and productive." "This work will be of value to graduate students and research workers in theoretical physics, and in the history, philosophy and sociology of science, who have an interest in the conceptual foundations of quantum field theory."--BOOK JACKET.
