Erwin Schrödinger Knihy

Nakladatelství Vysokého učení technického v Brně Vutium zpřístupňuje touto knihou tři spisy Erwina Schrödingera (12. 8. 1887–4. 1. 1961): fyzikálně-biologické dílo Co je život? (1944) proslulé jasnozřivou předpovědí struktury a funkce genetického kódu, rozsáhlý fi losofi cký esej Duch a hmota (1958) založený na přírodovědném přístupu k odvěkému problému lidského bytí a koncepčně originální nástin životopisu K mému životu (1960). Myšlenkovou provázanost celé trojice refl ektuje i Doslov Václava Pačesa s výstižným přehledem zrodu a vývoje molekulární genetiky od čtyřicátých let dvacátého století až po současnost, osvětlující jak samotný Schrödingerův intelektuální výkon, tak jeho inspirativnost pro molekulárněbiologický výzkum.

The text of two series of lectures given by one of the great philosopher- scientists of the twentieth century.

Reprint of a classical book first published in 1950. This lucid and profound exposition of Einstein's 1915 theory of gravitation is essential reading.

A Nobel prize winner, a great man and a great scientist, Erwin Schrödinger has made his mark in physics, but his eye scans a far wider horizon: here are two stimulating and discursive essays which summarize his philosophical views on the nature of the world.

This volume contains new publications (typeset in LaTeX) of two essays by Schrödinger "Our Image of Matter" (1952) and "What is an Elementary Particle?" (1957) and his book Expanding Universes (1956). The collection intends to provide an idea of Schrödinger's views on the whole world - from the quantum level to the Universe. While the first two essays are written for a wider audience the third work - Expanding Universes - is more technical and would be also of interest to physicists and physics students.

This is a new publication of eight of Schrödinger's "Science, Art and Play""The Law of Chance""Indeterminism In Physics""Is Science a Fashion of the Times?""Physical Science and the Temper of the Age""What is a Law of Nature?""Conceptual Models in Physics and their Philosophical Value""The Fundamental Idea of Wave Mechanics" (Schrödinger's Nobel Address delivered at Stockholm on December 12, 1933)

This collection contains a new publication of the Heisenberg, Born, Schroedinger and Auger, On Modern Physics and the Nobel lectures of Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schroedinger and Max Born.In this collection three Nobel laureates and a renowned authority on space exploration discuss a wide range of issues - from lessons that can be learned from the ancient Greek philosophers, to the advancements in fundamental physics in the twentieth century, to the dark implications of scientific discoveries, to the methods and limits of scientific knowledge - in a language that is understandable by a wide audience.

This is a new publication of the Collected Papers On Wave Mechanics by Erwin Schrödinger - one of the founding fathers of quantum physics.This valuable book should prove attractive to experts, students and all interested in the origin, the foundations and the philosophy of quantum physics. A particular reason for this is that Schrödinger discusses two issues which are still (in the 21st century) unsettled - the physical meaning of the wave function and the statistical nature of quantum physics. Like Einstein, Schrödinger was not satisfied with the statistical description of quantum "The question whether the solution of the difficulty is really to be found only in the purely statistical interpretation of the field theory which has been proposed in several quarters must for the present be left unsettled. Personally I no longer regard this interpretation as a finally satisfactory one, even if it proves useful in practice. To me it seems to mean a renunciation, much too fundamental in principle, of all attempt to understand the individual process."

„Schrödinger, einer der modernen Begründer der Physik, Nobelpreis 1933, hat es verstanden, die philosophischen Konsequenzen der Naturwissenschaften zu erfassen und sie allgemein verständlich darzustellen. Hier handelt es sich um 6 Aufsätze aus den Jahren 1929-1952, in dieser Form zuerst 1962 zusammengefaßt. Sie sind immer noch hervorragend geeignet, moderne Physik und ihre philosophischen Konsequenzen verstehen zu lernen. Ein Klassiker der Naturphilosophie.“ ekz-Informationsdienst
