Laws, Symmetry, and Symmetry Breaking: Invariance, Conservation Principles, and Objectivity.
Given its importance in modern physics, philosophers of science have paid surprisingly little attention to the subject of symmetries and invariances, and they have largely neglected the subtopic of symmetry breaking. I illustrate how the topic of laws and symmetries brings into fruitful interaction...
