Editorial Reviews
Review
"The breadth and clarity of Murdoch's analysis makes this book a worthy addition to Bohrian scholarship." New Scientist

"...an excellent book on Bohr's philosophy of physics and its relevance for the present debate." Jan Faye, ISIS

Product Description
Murdoch describes the historical background of the physics from which Bohr's ideas grew; he traces the origins of his idea of complementarity and discusses its meaning and significance. Special emphasis is placed on the contrasting views of Einstein, and the great debate between Bohr and Einstein is thoroughly examined. Bohr's philosophy is revealed as being much more subtle, and more interesting than is generally acknowledged.
