About the author
Samuel C. Fletcher is a philosopher of physics and science whose work explores topics like spacetime, computation, and the foundations of scientific reasoning. He is a Professor of the Philosophy of Physics at the University of Oxford and a Fellow and Tutor in Philosophy at Merton College.
Alongside his Oxford role, he has also been affiliated with the Minnesota Center for Philosophy of Science and the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy. His publications focus on the conceptual structure of physics and on how scientific theories are explained, interpreted, and used.
His writing is especially appealing for readers who enjoy books that sit between science and philosophy. Rather than treating physics as only a set of equations, his work looks at the ideas underneath it and asks what they really tell us about the world.
