In Part I, the author explains the importance of thought experiments in science and\nphilosophy. Part II considers Laplace’s Demon, whose claim is that the world is\ncompletely deterministic. Part III introduces Maxwell’s Demon, who - by contrast - experiences a world that is probabilistic and indeterministic. Part IV explores Nietzsche’s thesis of the cyclic and eternal recurrence of events. In each case\na number of philosophical consequences regarding determinism and indeterminism, the arrows of time, the nature of the mind and\nfree will are said to follow from the Demons’s worldviews. The book investigates what these Demons - and others - can and cannot tell us about our world. \u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-05-27\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319317076\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-31708-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 251\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47692873367692,"sku":"9783319317076","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319317076.jpg?v=1776699600","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319317076","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
