Moreover, the role of the observer seems indispensable in quantum physics. In fact, quantum physics, unlike classical physics, suggests a metaphysics that is not physicalism (which is today’s official metaphysical doctrine). As is well known, physicalism implies a reductive position in the philosophy of mind, specifically in its two core areas, the philosophy of consciousness and the philosophy of action. Quantum physics, in contrast, is compatible with psychological non-reductionism, and actually seems to support it. The essays in this book explore, from various points of view, the possibilities of basing a non-reductive philosophy of mind on quantum physics. In doing so, they not only engage with the ontological and epistemological aspects of the question but also with the neurophysiological ones.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: DEItem Height: 230mmItem Length: 155mmItem Weight: 486gContributor: Uwe Meixner (Edited by), Antonella Corradini (Edited by)Genre: Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: Philosophische Analyse / Philosophical AnalysisTopic: Science Nature & MathAuthor: Uwe MeixnerRelease Year: 2017 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
