In this seminar, we will discuss metaphysical issues as they arise in contemporary science. First, we will treat the relationship between metaphysics and science in general, and between metaphysics and physics in particular. Second, we will consider specific problems such as time and relativity, structuralism and dependence, monism and indeterminacy in the context of quantum physics, and metaphysical questions in the context of biology. |
