The Mathematical Representation of Physical Reality
This book deals with the rise of mathematics in physical sciences, beginning with Galileo and Newton and extending to the present day. The book is divided into two parts. The first part gives a brief history of how mathematics was introduced into physics—despite its "unreasonable effectiveness" as famously pointed out by a distinguished physicist—and the criticisms it received from earlier thinkers. The second part takes a more philosophical approach and is intended to shed some light on that mysterious effectiveness. For this purpose, the author reviews the debate between classical philosophers on the existence of innate ideas that allow us to understand the world and also the philosophically based arguments for and against the use of mathematics in physical sciences. In this context, Schopenhauer’s conceptions of causality and matter are very pertinent, and their validity is revisited in light of modern physics. The final question addressed is whether the effectiveness of mathematics can be explained by its “existence” in an independent platonic realm, as Gödel believed. The book aims at readers interested in the history and philosophy of physics. It is accessible to those with only a very basic (not professional) knowledge of physics.
Quantum-Social Investigations across Transnational Movements

This book weaves theoretical-empirical threads beyond pragmatic philosophy, quantum cosmology and world affairs. It offers a “quantum-social” approach to inquire solidarity configurations among transnational movements. The first part of the book develops an integrative framework to foreground “quantum-type” features of social fields, virtual movements, and complex encounters. Quantum conceptual keys open new gates for macro-theorizing of “non-locality” and comprehending fields around cognate disciplines like psychology and sociology as well as international studies. Accordingly, emotional “indeterminacy” is found fundamental for understanding mesoscopic dynamics of virtual mobilizations. All along micro-layers, phenomena of “entanglement” mold multiple pathways for transversal solidarities. The empirical second part looks at how transnational solidarity springs emerge under “quantum-like” contexts of liberation/revolution-redemption/resistance movements. Emotional memories and affective imageries dynamically co-mingle across flowing fields and moving habitats of “1968-71” and “2008-11.” Affective waves and sentimental circulations shape sanctified-secularized constellations of altruisms and sacrifices through which solidarities spin.
The Theoretical Minimum
A master teacher presents the ultimate introduction to classical mechanics for people who are serious about learning physics "Beautifully clear explanations of famously 'difficult' things," -- Wall Street Journal If you ever regretted not taking physics in college -- or simply want to know how to think like a physicist -- this is the book for you. In this bestselling introduction to classical mechanics, physicist Leonard Susskind and hacker-scientist George Hrabovsky offer a first course in physics and associated math for the ardent amateur. Challenging, lucid, and concise, The Theoretical Minimum provides a tool kit for amateur scientists to learn physics at their own pace.
