Novel to the approach is that it is based not on a single eternally valid concept of reduction, but on a series of recursively constructed reductions, with which all reductions appear as combinations of very specific elementary reductions. In addition to the kinds of reduction introduced in the first volume, the limiting case reduction is included as a new reduction type here, which becomes effective in combination with those introduced earlier. This second volume demonstrates the far-reaching consequences of the concept for selected examples in physics: Special and General Relativity Theory, and Quantum Mechanics. A separate chapter is dedicated to the subtle concept of micro-reduction and to kinetic theory. The book is systematically organized and intended for readers interested in philosophy of science as well as physicists without deep philosophical knowledge. 410 0$aFundamental Theories of Physics,$x2365-6425 ;$v218 606 $aPhysics$xPhilosophy 606 $aScience$xPhilosophy 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aPhilosophical Foundations of Physics and Astronomy 606 $aPhilosophy of Science 606 $aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics 615 0$aPhysics$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aScience$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 14$aPhilosophical Foundations of Physics and Astronomy. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Science. 615 24$aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics. 676 $a530.01 700 $aScheibe$b Erhard$050405 701 $aFalkenburg$b Brigitte$0615012 701 $aJaeger$b Gregg$0786737 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911015680603321 996 $aThe Reduction of Physical Theories$94406366 997 $aUNINA
