The present work is structured in two main parts, the Philosophy of Space and Time and the Philosophy of Quantum Mechanics. Both are prominent in the Philosophy of Physics of the 21st century. It is a special feature of the book that in the historical development of the interaction between physics and philosophy, the analysis of facts and the formulation of positions is accompanied, in addition to the secondary literature, by the citation of the original scientific, historical and philosophical sources.

In this way, the reader, participating in the process towards knowledge, recognises elements of the research process itself, while at the same time forming a creative way of thinking. The book unfolds a fascinating field of philosophical reflection on the character and nature of knowledge, where, through a systematic analysis of the conceptual foundations of modern physics, the deeper relationship between Physics and Philosophy as two powerfully interdependent ways of understanding the world and our place in it as cognitive beings is highlighted.

It is addressed to the academic and educational community, to undergraduate and postgraduate students of various disciplines – History and Philosophy of Science, Natural Sciences, Engineering and Philosophy – as well as to any reader interested in the in-depth philosophical analysis of modern physics.
