Bridging analytic, hermeneutic and phenomenological philosophy of science, this book features resources for students of the philosophy and history of quantum mechanics and the Copenhagen interpretation , cognitive theory and the psychology of perception, the history and philosophy of art, and the pragmatic and historical relationships between religion and science. It introduces the technology of variational graphic representations with the insights (and mathematical apparatus) of Patrick Heelan’s work on the perception of space and the history of art, particularly the work of Cezanne and Van Gogh. This book should interest students of the scientific philosophies of Heisenberg and Bohr, Wittgenstein (on science - Hertz - and on religion - Rush Rhees), as well as the social histories of Thomas Kuhn and Ludwig Fleck, and the philosophical insights of Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Lacan, Foucault.
