Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into physical idealization as a plausible inference, examining the consequences of viewing a physical idealization as a defeasible inference. The author, an esteemed expert in the field, focuses on examples where a system may or may not deviate from an idealized state, such as a ball near an open switch connected to a battery. Through thought-provoking analysis, the book demonstrates that non-monotonic logics struggle to account for idealizations, while probabilistic analysis offers a partial solution but faces challenges in choosing independence assumptions. The author proposes a novel deductive theory to address these issues, highlighting instances where idealizations impose constraints over extended time periods. This significant work expands our understanding of physical idealization as a complex interplay of logic, probability, and time, offering valuable insights for researchers and practitioners in physical reasoning and artificial intelligence. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
