Discussion Outline for the talk on “Speculative Physics: 'New physics,' Ontology and the Bridging of Theory and Experiment in Particle Physics." Max Planck Institute for the History of Science Nov 6, 2012, 2 pm

Speculative physics: Philosophy ♣    Concept of atomism and corpuscularity, versus that of field. How does the banality between both help us thing about the category of media ♣    Schelling’s concept of productivity and product, atomistic and dynamical, and the position of speculative physics in theory and the empirical. ♣    Speculative realism and post-Husserl Ian and post-Kantian phenomenology. ♣    Whitehead’s concept of speculative philosophy and rethinking of the phenomena (under consideration). Theoretical physics I am trying to identify what other key theoretical areas that provide theoretical predictions or explications into possible or existing experiments, connections between some of the interpretational aspects of quantum mechanics and field theory to the phenomenological problems in particle physics, what drives the choice of certain theoretical application to the experiments).     Research questions for this section:     •    What are the epistemics that drive the articul

Speculative Physics according to Friedrich WJ Schelling

These notes are my attempts at making sense of how the notion of speculation and physics are played out in 18th century Europe, through an actual attempt to address the concept in Schelling'S work that partially approximates the constructs of science today. More on how I intend to transfer what he does here to our understanding of modern quantum theory later, probably in the outline of my talk. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Introduction to the Outlines of a System of Natural Philosophy: or, On the Idea of Speculative Physics and the Internal Organization of a System of this Science Transcendental philosophy subordinates the Real to the Ideal, while Natural Philosophy explain the Ideal by the Real. Two sciences as one science Is also a critique of the dynamical system of Kant The possibilities of speculative physics lie in: 1. Having sufficient knowledge of an object's working principles.
