Oppositions and Paradoxes : Philosophical Perplexities in Science and Mathematics

Explains and investigates the paradoxes and puzzles that arise out of conceptual oppositions in physics and mathematics. In the process, John L. Bell not only motivates abstract conceptual thinking about the paradoxes at issue, he also offers a compelling introduction to central ideas in such otherwise difficult topics as non-Euclidean geometry, relativity, and quantum physics.
