These lectures are meant as a sequel to my Six Lectures on Modern Natural Philosophy, Springer-Verlag, New York, 1966, and especially as a replacement for Lecture III therein. They began as the first nine in the series of public lectures delivered in 1966-1967 at the Drexel Institute of Technology, Philadelphia, under the title "Topics in Modern Natural Philosophy" The part of that series devoted to electromagnetism I have withheld here as being unripe for the press; in return, I have completely rewritten Lectures 3 and 4, have recast Lecture 5, and have added a new lecture, here the sixth, all these containing material which did not exist last year. Most of the lectures in their present forms I have delivered in 1968 at one or more of the Universities of Rome, Pisa, and Uppsala, the Technical Universities of Lund and Stockholm, and the Nordita at Copenhagen.
