Frisch, Mathias![Inconsistency, Asymmetry, and Non-Locality: A Philosophical Investigation of Classical Electrodynamics](https://support.digitalhusky.com/media/annotations/sorted/224/22402822/CHSBZCOP0322402822.jpg)
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, thestandard equation of motion results in a mathematically inconsistent theory, yet there is no fully consistent and conceptually unproblematic alternative theo...
