This book shows that, based on Newton's classical physics and by rational reconstruction, the theory of Special Relativity as well as Quantum Mechanics can be obtained by partly eliminating or attenuating the metaphysical hypotheses, without additional hypotheses.

Although the chapters (and in some cases parts of the chapters) were originally written by one of the two authors, all of them were discussed thoroughly and in detail and have been revised and complemented afterwards. In this sense the authors feel speci?cally responsible for the chapters as follows: Mittelstaedt for Chaps.

The amazing accuracy in verifying quantum effects experimentally has recently renewed interest in quantum mechanical measurement theory. In this book the authors give within the Hilbert space formulation of quantum mechanics a systematic exposition of the quantum theory of measurement.

Professor Peter Mittelstaedt is a physicist whose primary concern is the foundations of current physical theories. We are at liberty to choose a framework for thought - a logic and a method ology - prior to experience (in the classic sense, to think a priori);
