Details

One exciting thing about the current debates in philosophy of physics is the steady movement away from classical issues like the measurement problem and the conventionality of the metric into more cutting-edge issues in areas like high-energy physics or condensed matter physics. We are looking for high-quality contributions in all philosophy of physics, but especially for ones that address problems arising in these two areas.
