Epistemology and Probability : Bohr, Heisenberg, Schrödinger, and the Nature of Quantum-Theoretical Thinking
Quantum mechanics, discovered by Werner Heisenberg and Erwin Schrödinger in 1925-1926, is famous for its radical implications for our conception of physics and for our view of human knowledge in general. While these implications have been seen as scientifically productive and intellectually liberati...

- Introduction 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 Schrödinger 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 11 Conclusion: The Mere Touch of Cold Philosophy
