Inconsistency, Asymmetry, and Non-Locality: A Philosophical Investigation of Classical Electrodynamics (repost)

Inconsistency, Asymmetry, and Non-Locality: A Philosophical Investigation of Classical Electrodynamics by Mathias Frisch
English | ISBN: 0195172159 | 2005 | PDF | 223 pages | 1 mb

Mathias Frisch provides the first sustained philosophical discussion of conceptual problems in classical particle-field theories. Part of the book focuses on the problem of a satisfactory equation of motion for charged particles interacting with electromagnetic fields.
As Frisch shows, the standard equation of motion results in a mathematically inconsistent theory, yet there is no fully consistent and conceptually unproblematic alternative theory.
