Why More Is Different: Philosophical Issues in Condensed Matter Physics and Complex Systems - The Frontiers Collection

However, as science - largely thanks to more powerful computers - becomes capable of analysing and modelling ever more complex many-body systems, basic questions of philosophical relevance arise.
