Recensioner i media

“The Mechanical World is a welcome addition to the new mechanistic philosophy. … The Mechanical World is an intellectually challenging book offering a particularly clear and rigorous discussion of some very important issues in contemporary philosophy of science. I am convinced philosophers and philosophically minded scientists will greatly enjoy and appreciate it.” (Tudor Baetu, History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences, Vol. 41 (4), 2019)
