Title | Epistemology and probability : Bohr, Heisenberg, Schr�odinger and the nature of quantum-theoretical thinking |
Author(s) | Arkady Plotnitsky |
Publication | New York, Springer, 2010. |
Description | 1 online resource (xxviii, 402 p.) : ill |
Abstract Note | Offers an exploration of the relationships between epistemology and probability in the work of Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, and Erwin Schrodinger; in quantum mechanics; and in modern physics. This book considers the implications of these relationships and of quantum theory for our understanding of the nature of thinking and knowledge in general |
Contents Note | Epistemology and probability in quantum theory : physics, mathematics, and philosophy -- Quantum phenomena and the double-slit experiment -- Heisenberg's revolutions : new kinematics, new mathematics, and new philosophy -- From geometry to algebra in physics, with Heisenberg -- Schr�odinger's waves : propagation and probability -- Bohr's Como argument : complementarity and the problem of causality -- From Como to Copenhagen : renunciations -- Can quantum-mechanical description of physical reality be considered both complete and local? -- Essential ambiguity and essential influence : reading Bohr's reply to EPR -- Mysteries without mysticism, correlations without correlata, epistemology without ontology, and probability without causality -- "The mere touch of cold philosophy." |
Notes | Includes bibliographical references (p. 369-378) and indexes |
