Marian J.R. Gilton's Website
My primary research interests are in the history and philosophy of physics. I’m interested in the mathematical and conceptual foundations of contemporary particle physics; the relationship between classical and quantum field theories; the history of quantum mechanics; and the history of mathematical, metaphysical, and other conceptual precursors to the Scientific Revolution. I have secondary research interests in philosophical logic, especially as applied to moral reasoning.
