Summary:"Pauli's Exclusion Principle proposes a philosophical framework for understanding the principle's origin in the atomic spectroscopy of the early 1920s, its subsequent embedding in quantum mechanics and later experimental validation with the development of quantum chromodynamics."--Jacket

Table of Contents:
  • The exclusion principle : a philosophical overview
  • The origins of the exclusion principle : an extremely natural prescriptive rule
  • From the old quantum theory to the new quantum theory : reconsidering Kuhn's incommensurability
  • How Pauli's rule became the exclusion principle : from Fermi-Dirac statistics to the spin-statistics theorem
  • The exclusion principle opens up new avenues : from the eightfold way to quantum chromodynamics.
