SPRINGERBRIEFS IN HISTORY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNO...

What are the thinking processes and knowledge resources involved in a complex discovery? How
can the physics of solids  the physics of nuclei  and elementary particle physics
cross-fertilise in spite of the widely differing domains and energy scales they deal with? This
book addresses the questions by reconstructing and examining from the historical
epistemological perspective the fascinating heuristic path to the concept of spontaneous
symmetry breaking. This analysis especially brings to light the role that analogical reasoning
and mathematical reformulations played in the discovery process  as well as the influence of
the Japanese milieu and approach to physical problems.
