However, the theory remains empirically unconfirmed, and is expected to remain so for the foreseeable future. So why do string theorists have such a strong belief in their theory? This book explores this question, offering a novel insight into the nature of theory assessment itself. Dawid approaches the topic from a unique position, having extensive experience in both philosophy and high-energy physics. He argues that string theory is just the most conspicuous example of a number of theories in high-energy physics where non-empirical theory assessment has an important part to play. Aimed at physicists and philosophers of science, the book does not use mathematical formalism and explains most technical terms.String Theory & the Scientific MethodString modelsScienceMethodologyString models.ScienceMethodology.539.7/258SCI055000bisacshDawid Richard1966-1462959UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910786729503321String theory and the scientific method3672121UNINA03060nam 2200613Ia 450 991078569080332120200520144314.01-282-98599-X97866129859971-4422-0857-0(CKB)2670000000070036(EBL)652278(OCoLC)700706976(SSID)ssj0000467953(PQKBManifestationID)12129760(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000467953(PQKBWorkID)10496980(PQKB)11099499(MiAaPQ)EBC652278(Au-PeEL)EBL652278(CaPaEBR)ebr10447163(CaONFJC)MIL298599(EXLCZ)99267000000007003620100722d2011 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrThe Constitution's gift[electronic resource] a constitutional theory for a democratic European Union /John Erik Fossum and Agustín José MenéndezNew York Rowman & Littlefield Publishers20111 online resource (315 p.)Governance in Europe SeriesIncludes index.0-7425-5311-6 Contents; Acknowledgments; Introduction: The European Enigma; Chapter 1.

A unique political animal, the EU has given rise to important constitutional conundrums and paradoxes that the authors explore in detail. Their analysis illuminates the distinctive features of the Union's pluralist constitutional construct and provides the tools to understand the Union's development, especially during the Laeken (2001-2005) and Lisbon (2007-2009) processes of constitutional reform and spells out the parallels between the European and the Canadian conGovernance in Europe SeriesConstitutional lawEuropean Union countriesPhilosophyConstitutional historyEuropean Union countriesConstitutional lawEuropean Union countriesConstitutional lawPhilosophy.Constitutional historyConstitutional law342.24Fossum John Erik618122Menéndez Agustín José524489MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785690803321The Constitution's gift3761051UNINA
