In this groundbreaking work, Edmund Beckett offers a new perspective on the origins of the laws of nature. Drawing on the insights of mathematics, physics, and philosophy, Beckett argues that the laws of nature are not simply conventions or regularities, but fundamental features of the universe that reflect its underlying structure. He provides a fascinating exploration of the history and philosophy of science, and offers a compelling vision of a world in which the laws of nature are no longer mysterious, but essential components of our understanding of reality.
