Can anyone who is more well read tell me if there is any philosophy work that revises the theory of dialectical materialism in light of modern scientific advances? I just finished Elementary Principles of Philosophy (FLP edition) which was extremely enlightening but some of the scientific examples are dated and it got me thinking. Physics (and all sciences for that matter) has advanced quite a bit in the past fifty years and I'd love to read a principled critique/investigation/discussion on how our current understanding of nature modifies our understanding of materialism. Also if there are any critiques of idealism in the understanding of modern science
One of the Unis I went to had a very good PhilSci department and all science students had to take 2 classes.
Desperately needed since most Scientists are actually Verificationists when you ask how they work but Popper pushed Falsificationism so hard that everyone just repeats his bullshit as "What Science is".
EDIT, if you are completely new, I recommend https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_Is_This_Thing_Called_Science%3F
as an intro to non-Soviet PhilSci and the basic issues. Also The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy Has just about all the summary of any conceivable topic a layperson needs, with primary sources.
