Towards a Theory of Spacetime Theories [electronic resource] edited by Dennis Lehmkuhl, Gregor Schiemann, Erhard Scholz.

This contributed volume is the result of a July 2010 workshop at the University of Wuppertal Interdisciplinary Centre for Science and Technology Studies which brought together world-wide experts from physics, philosophy and history, in order to address a set of questions first posed in the 1950s: Ho...
